Current knowledge suggests that the microbiome affects its host much more than it was previously thought. It does so directly, through biologically active substances produced by the microorganisms and indirectly, by modulating the host's immune system. Thus, the microbiome plays a key role in maintaining homeostasis. Under certain circumstances, an imbalance in this ecosystem can lead to the manifestation of a number of diseases, including some skin diseases, such as atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, acne and others. Probiotics then open a new path in the treatment of these conditions.
