Wounds and the Microbiome
Emerald Curry +1

Wounds are the most common and most costly skin disease. Immediately upon injury to the skin, the wound becomes colonized by bacteria and a biofilm quickly emerges thereafter. Research data has now accumulated on biofilms in wounds and interventions are available on the market.

Dr. Hadar Lev-Tov is a board-certified dermatologist with extensive research experience. Throughout his training and in daily practice, he has always believed that the key to achieving health for his patients is grounded in his ability to truly connect to their experiences and perceptions of health and well-being. Maimonides, one of the greatest philosophers of all time realized that human knowledge, often represented as "science," is limited. As a physician, he feels he would be a fool to believe all is known. Maimonides said, "The physician should not treat the disease but the patient who is suffering from it." LearnSkin is his journey to a better understanding of his patients.
