Common ailments of the skin are often related to hypersensitivity and autoimmunity. These states are in turn influenced by diet. Cutaneous manifestations of food allergy and intolerance are common; many of the dermatologic conditions influenced by food are atopic responses to food itself (see Chapter 24). There is an array of dermatopathology associated with excessive intake of alcohol, and there is some evidence that ethanol tends to exacerbate autoimmune dermatoses. Atopic dermatitis (AD) in children is common and may respond to dietary manipulations. Gluten enteropathy often presents with dermatitis that may be evident even in the absence of overt gastrointestinal symptoms. Some studies suggest benefits of probiotic bacteria and ω-3 fatty acids in the treatment of dermatitis. In nickel-sensitive individuals, the nickel used in stainless steel cookware may induce dermatitis. Increasing evidence is suggesting a link between high-glycemic-load foods and acne development and psoriasis. Further, psoriasis symptoms may be improved with low-energy diets rich in fruits, vegetables, and n-3 fatty acids. Highly processed diets, refined sugar, saturated fat, and trans fat may exert adverse influences, whereas vegetables, fruit, and organic foods free of contaminants may reduce the risk of food-induced dermatopathology.
