There is more than a millions like billions or gazillions of microbes that lives on our skin!!!
DEGERMATION
Skin is the outer covering of the body that protects against microbes and germs.
Soap microbiology would focus on both the efficiency of particular soaps to remove microbes from the skin or other surfaces and the prevention of growth of microbes within soap.
he microbes in your bed- Some of the microbes in your bed are called dust mites. (Look at one on google images) they live on dust. Dust is mainly dead skin cells and dust mites-GROSS!! I would tell you everything else I know but I have a bust to catch at 8:25 and it's 8:21...BYE!! :P
Skin has millions of pores. Incidentally skin is the largest organ.
The skin is a very important protection against microbes. Some microbes are small enough to get in the pores of the skin. The skin is not a complete seal from the outer world.

Skin prevents microbes from entering your body...
The simple answer is you don't! Microbes live everywhere so short of living in a sealed bubble and having all your food, clothing etc sterilised before it is passed to you through an air lock you just can't live without microbes! You are born sterile but quickly pick up microbes that are needed for you to absorb certain nutrients from you food from your mum and the environment. You also need microbes living on your skin to protect you from nasty microbes that might take their place should there be a place at the table. Anyone who decided to live in a microbe free world would have to be placed there before they had time to pick up these normal (comensal) microbes.
Well, in short, yes. Microbes are so infinitely tiny that there are millions on a human hand at a time. Rarely, if ever, would you come in contact with just one microbe of a certain genus. More likely you have hundreds of each different kind of microbe covering the surface of your skin.
No, not really. Your epidermis is an important of your skin.
Puss is made of small microbes found in the upper layers of your skin. These microbes cause various forms of skin cancer if not treated. Puss, which can usually found in acne, can be a sign of an early death related to cancerous skin cells.

Not all microbes are harmful. Some are quite helpful. As humans, we actually have microbes in our bodies and on our skin that work to keep us from getting certain diseases.
