We describe how the disequilibrium of these microorganisms in the skin microbiome can develop skin inflammation in SD patients. Understanding these complex interactions of the skin microbiome has led to development of novel probiotics (e.g., Vitreoscilla spp. and Lactobacillus spp.) to restore normal skin physiology in SD. There are also differences in the skin microbiomes of healthy and SD infant and adult patients that impact pathogenesis and prompt different management strategies.
