Diet plays an important role in many skin disorders, and dermatologists are frequently faced with the difficulty of separating myth from fact when it comes to dietary advice for their patients. From a practical point of view, the dermatologist will find it useful to keep some dietary information handy in order to deal with the occasional patient who does not seem to respond despite the best scientific and evidence-based therapy. In this chapter we discuss the relationship of nutrition with some dermatoses: acanthosis nigricans, acne, acrodermatitis enteropathica, allergic contact dermatitis, atopic dermatitis, autoimmune cutaneous diseases, bullous diseases, skin manifestations of energy-protein malnutrition, hair disorders, oral mucosa disorders, nail disorders, necrolytic migratory erythema, pellagra, cutaneous signs of peripheral vascular disease, phrynoderma, porphyria, pressure ulcers, psoriasis, rosacea, scurvy, skin cancer, skin infection, urticaria, vitiligo, and skin repercussions of bariatric surgery. |
