Abstract
CABEZAS, Angel Ramiro Falcon; EUSEBIO, Silvana Alicia Soriano and CARDENAS, Carlos Rolando Espinoza. Relationship of the intestinal microbiota in skin pathologies. Vive Rev. Salud [online]. 2023, vol.6, n.16, pp.36-44. Epub Feb 14, 2023. ISSN 2664-3243. https://doi.org/10.33996/revistavive.v6i16.204.
The intestinal microbiota is constituted by more than one million microorganisms among which bacteria are the most prevalent. This microbiota is directly dependent on the exact location along the digestive tract, with the colon portion harboring the largest amount of the microorganism flora. The skin microbiota is directly related to the gut microbiota by the various mechanisms involved in its formation. The aim of the present study was to analyze the use of probiotics and prebiotics in the treatment of skin pathology and the relationship between the intestinal microbiota and skin diseases. A narrative bibliographic review of the scientific literature on the relationship between the intestinal microbiota and skin pathologies was carried out. It was concluded that the use of probiotics and prebiotics play an important role in skin diseases, especially inflammatory ones.
