Abstract: 【Abstract】 In recent years, the development of next-generation sequencing has broadened the prospect of determining the pathogenesis, signal pathways, and biomarkers of skin diseases. Due to the advantages in the recognition of nucleic acid sequences, next-generation sequencing can recognize not only microorganisms on normal skin surfaces, but also rare pathogens which were difficult to be identified before. This review summarizes the application of next-generation sequencing in non-hereditary dermatoses, aiming to explore their pathogenesis and improve their diagnosis.
