For years, many skin diseases have been thought to be related to diet. In recent years, there are studies showing that diet can affect the course of the disease. Diet also traditionally has an effect on the treatment of skin diseases. In some cases, dietary interventions can affect the course of certain diseases, such as acne. In others, such as skin aging and skin cancers, dietary changes may prevent disease development. In some cases, such as psoriasis, dermatological disease may change the patient's health in association with systemic diseases. Finally, since some treatments such as cortisone used for skin diseases increase the risk of other diseases, dietary changes can reduce this risk. Diet is important to many patients in dermatology.
