skin microbiome metabolome atopic dermatitis scalp involvement

TLDR Understanding the skin's bacteria and chemicals may help manage scalp issues in atopic dermatitis.

The study investigates the associations between the skin microbiome and metabolome in patients with atopic dermatitis (AD) with scalp involvement, comparing groups LS, NL, and HC. The findings highlight specific contributions of the microbiome and metabolome that may enhance the understanding of the pathogenesis of scalp involvement in AD patients. This research could potentially lead to improved management strategies for these patients.
