Abstract

In Part I of our CME, we reviewed the skin microbiome in healthy individuals. Part II reviews the evolving understanding of alterations in the skin microbiome in specific human diseases. We also discuss how the skin microbiome can change with environmental exposures and medications such as antibiotics, as well as ongoing research on microbiome-based interventions.
