Reexamining the Role of Diet in Dermatology

Abstract

Patients are increasingly interested in dietary modifications that may influence skin appearance and aid in the treatment of cutaneous disease.• Although evidence-based dietary recommendations currently are limited, it is important for dermatologists to be aware of the varied and nuanced dietary interventions employed by patients.• There remains a lack of randomized controlled trials assessing the efficacy of various dietary interventions in the dermatologic setting.
