Shingles, Sun Damage, and the Skin’s Microbiome—What’s the Link?

Disclaimer: This podcast is not sponsored by or associated with any of the products mentioned in today's episode.

In this episode of Skinfluenced: The Skin Podcast, learn how sun damage, known as ultraviolet radiation (“UVR”), significantly influences the composition of the skin microbiome and is known to modulate the immune system, potentially leading to immunosuppression. Tune in to learn how this UV-induced immune suppression is correlated with seasonal increases in herpes zoster (shingles) cases.
