DIET-BASED THERAPIES
Skin disorders are well represented in the long and complex history of the therapeutic use of โfad dietsโ. Over the past several decades, there has been renewed interest in employing dietary modifications to influence cutaneous diseases. Obesity is thought to contribute to a proinflammatory state and there is some evidence that weight loss is beneficial in psoriasis. In a subset of patients, a gluten-free diet may also improve psoriasis. Dairy and high-glycemic foods may be contributing factors for acne, and avoiding these foods appears to significantly reduce acne severity.
Although dietary avoidance of certain allergens can be helpful in patients with systemic contact dermatitis, the story is much more complex in the case of atopic dermatitis. There is widespread belief outside the conventional medical community that foods are the โroot causeโ of atopic dermatitis, and while it is a compelling idea, there is limited evidence to support this theory. Some support exists for avoiding known allergens (specifically eggs), especially in infants. Overall, excluding foods in patients without specific allergies appears to have an insignificant effect. Severe nutritional deficiencies and even kwashiorkor have been reported in infants on restrictive diets, underscoring the fact that there is risk associated with pronounced dietary modifications.
