Sign-associated changes in skin microbiota composition at the genus level. (A) The changes in relative abundance at different erythema levels. (B) The increase in relative abundance of Staphylococcus spp. and Haemophilus spp. in lesional skin were positively corelated with erythema. (C) The changes in relative abundance at different skin thickness levels. (D) The increase in relative abundance of Paracoccus sp. in lesional skin was positively correlated with thicker skin. (E) The changes in relative abundance at different level of excoriation. (F) The increase in relative abundance of Gordonia spp. in the lesional skin was positively correlated with excoriation level. (G) changes in relative abundance at different levels of lichenification (H) The increase in relative abundance of Corynebacterium in lesional skin was negatively correlated with lichenification. *P ≤ 0.05; ***P ≤ 0.001.
