Human skin is an ecosystem made up of a variety of microbiome habitats for bacteria, fungus, and viruses. The human skin microbiome is also susceptible to change during spaceflight, which may result in skin infections or a flare-up of skin illnesses. This article focuses on some of the interactions that occur between the space environment and the skin.

Astronauts have erythematous, burning, itchy, dry, sensitive, and thinning skin while in space and after returning to Earth. Infections, abrasions, lacerations, delayed wound healing, and accelerated skin aging are among typical skin issues.-
Human missions to return to the Moon’s surface and land on Mars are in the works. The key elements impacting human health over a time range of minutes to months include the microgravity environment, high radiation levels, constant labor and stress onboard the ISS, other free-flying structures, and spacecrafts. Spaceflight affects the cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, pulmonary, vestibular, ocular, and immunological systems. It is also linked to significant and specific microbiome changes.

Telemedicine may work well for astronauts on the International Space Station (ISS), but as they go further away from Earth, their communication latency will rise, necessitating a change in approach to medical treatment. Crews must be more independent, and a physician must be on board.
