Start with the skin diagnosis
Acne, eczema and other skin conditions have different causes and treatments. Dermatology assessment remains important.
FLORE Skin-Gut Programme
Skin concerns and digestive symptoms, considered together.
Flore helps people examine how digestive symptoms, food response, sleep and stress may sit alongside recurring skin concerns without assuming one cause.
What this page can help you decide
Skin flares, food response, nutrition, existing treatments and daily routines. These patterns can guide a clinical conversation, but they do not identify a diagnosis or prove that a microbiome imbalance is the cause.
Should I start with a programme or a medical assessment?
Start with medical assessment when symptoms are new, persistent, severe or accompanied by warning signs. A support programme may be useful after the clinical question and safe next step are clear.
Do I need microbiome testing?
Not routinely. Commercial microbiome testing has limited proven clinical usefulness and cannot diagnose the cause of these symptoms. Consider it only after discussing what question it would answer and whether the result would change care.

Start with the repeated signals.
These symptoms do not confirm a diagnosis by themselves. They tell us what needs to be reviewed together.
01
Recurring acne or flare-ups
02
Skin changes with food or stress
03
Bloating with skin symptoms
04
Skin discomfort affecting sleep
05
Repeated supplement trials
06
Unsure whether food is involved
Why Flore
A programme before a product.
Flore does not begin with a bottle or a generic elimination diet. It begins with symptom rhythm, food context, stress, sleep, medical history, and microbiome testing when it can change the decision.
Food-response context
Food triggers need careful mapping, not broad restriction.
Limits of testing
A commercial microbiome profile cannot establish that a skin condition comes from the gut or select a proven skin treatment.
Stress and sleep
Skin, gut, sleep, and stress can move together during flares.
How it works
From scattered symptoms to a clear protocol.
Map skin and gut timing
We review flares, digestion, food patterns, sleep, stress, and previous treatments.
Review microbiome context
Testing is considered when it may change nutrition or probiotic direction.
Build a practical plan
The protocol connects gut support, food strategy, sleep, and review.
Track response
The plan adjusts with skin, digestion, and tolerance feedback.
Programme fit
Where this usually fits inside Flore.
The exact path is confirmed after assessment. These are the common starting points.
✓Start with a clinical review of symptoms and previous care
✓Explore a four-month Flore pathway if ongoing support is appropriate
✓Agree on any testing and programme details before choosing a plan
