Your Skin Has Its Own Micro-Ecosystem — And Some Disorders Are Caused by “Imbalance,” Not Infection
Skin isn’t just skin — it’s an ecosystem of bacteria, fungi, mites, and viruses. A disruption in this ecosystem, called dysbiosis, can trigger disorders such as:
- Seborrheic dermatitis (linked to overgrowth of a normally harmless yeast)
- Rosacea (associated with changes in skin mite populations)
- Atopic dermatitis (related to reduced microbial diversity)
The surprising part?
These conditions aren’t caused by traditional infections — they’re caused by the wrong ratios of organisms that usually protect your skin.
