Best Answer

There are around 1000 species upon human skin. Most are found in the superficial layers of the epidermis and the upper parts of hair follicles. This involves all your skin including your feet
There are three main ecological areas: sebaceous, moist, and dry.
Propionibacterium and Staphylococci species were the main species in sebaceous areas (areas that have sebaceous glands that make oil and are found with hair follicles).
In moist places on the body, Corynebacterium together with Staphylococci dominate.
In dry areas, there is a mixture of species but b-Proteobacteria and Flavobacteriales are dominant.
