Skin Flora
Skin flora refers to the diverse community of microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, and viruses, that naturally inhabit the surface of human skin. These microorganisms play a crucial role in maintaining skin health by protecting against harmful pathogens, aiding in wound healing, and supporting the immune system.
The balance of skin flora can be influenced by various factors such as hygiene practices, diet, and environmental conditions. Disruptions to this balance can lead to skin issues like acne, eczema, or infections. Maintaining a healthy skin flora is essential for overall skin well-being.
