Inner Connection Between Gut Microbes and Acne

Abstract

Acne is a common skin disease, which is associated with reduced diversity of intestine flora, intestine flora imbalance, and host-intestine co-metabolite differences. The occurrence of acne is related to microorganisms such as Propionibacterium acnes, while the role of intestine flora imbalance and immune system regulatory cells and molecules are also involved. Although the relevant mechanisms are not fully understood, intestine flora plays a role in the occurrence of acne. Therefore, regulating intestine flora can improve digestive system health, enhance immune system, reduce disease risk, and other health-care effects. Intestine flora is the largest microbial environment in the human body, and its microbial ecological balance is crucial for health and immunity. intestine flora imbalance may lead to changes in the composition of the flora, promote the growth of harmful bacteria, produce metabolites and inflammatory factors, and play a role in the occurrence of acne. This article analyzes the intrinsic link between gut flora and acne and finds that microbial ecological balance is essential for health and immunity. An imbalance in the gut flora may lead to changes in the composition of the flora, promoting the growth of harmful bacteria and the production of metabolites and inflammatory factors that play a role in the development of acne. Based on the comparison of recent treatments and modulation methods, this paper suggests that human microecology can be further improved by traditional Chinese medicine thereby alleviating the symptoms of patients and providing a reference point for future research.
