Abstract
Objective: This study was conducted to determine the influence a balanced diet has on the outcome of specific dermatologic conditions notably psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, and rosacea. Background: Nutritional status is pivotal in shaping holistic wellness, which extends to skin health. Adequate nutrition can prevent the worsening of inflammatory conditions. Methods: A literature review was conducted to analyze how specific dietary habits for selected chronic inflammatory cutaneous conditions influence the presentation and overall clinical outcome. Results: The analysis indicates a higher incidence of flare-ups with diets heavily consisting of carbohydrates, red meat, alcohol, and fats. Specific diets, such as the Western Diet, have been shown to have deleterious effects by serving as triggers for subsequent flare-ups. These findings offer insight into how one can tailor their diet to reduce the risk of developing associated conditions and complications. Conclusion: This study enhances the understanding of the interconnected nature of nutrition in skin health. Despite the multifactorial complex nature of these cutaneous conditions, diet is a modifiable risk factor that populations can address. The incorporation of dietary education in the realm of dermatology holds promise by providing patients with preventative strategies aimed at improving their quality of life. Grants: N/A
