Comparison of Scalp Microbiota of the Psoriasis and Seborrheic Dermatitis Patients

Comparison of Scalp Microbiota of the Patients With Psoriasis Vulgaris and Seborrheic Dermatitis

A sterile swap specimen taken from the scalp of the patients with psoriasis vulgaris or seborrheic dermatitis and the volunteer control group will be examined in our study. The examples of the microbiota of the patients will be taken both the lesional scalp and the lesion-free part of the scalp. Then, the microbiota differences between the lesioned scalp and the lesion-free scalp of both groups, and the microbiome differences between the two groups and the control group will be evaluated.
