In this chapter, there will be discussion of the skin microbiome formation, composition, function, and regional topographical differences. Similarly, the gut microbiome will be reviewed, and dysbiosis at each site as well as the consequences of such dysbiosis will be entertained. Specifically, the interaction between the skin microbiome and gut microbiome will be discussed with respect to acne and rosacea. Although information to date is limited with respect to treatment options, therapeutic interventions which may work through microbial systems will be presented. Finally, ideas for future research will be put forth.
