Scientists have found out that a group of viruses called 'phages' which naturally occur on the skin has the ability to fight off bacteria that cause acne. The possibility of infusing the viruses into a cream is being considered.

That is interesting news. It seems like a lot of people suffer from acne, and there are not a lot of great treatment options out there. Maybe this will be one that works.
 
It always makes me wonder how they manage to come up with some of their 'findings'. It sounds kind of strange but like something that might possibly work.
