Dr Claire Stansfield presented The Diet and Skin. She shared a review of up to date evidence regarding the role of diet in skin conditions including acne, eczema, psoriasis and hidradenitis suppurativa.
Key learning points were that diet does play a role in many of these skin conditions. Weight loss by any means can be beneficial as well as a Mediterranean diet and eating Low Glycaemic Index foods. There was also evidence that avoiding or reducing milk/dairy intake may improve acne in some individuals but this must be balanced against the harms of reducing dairy intake including risk of osteoporosis and fractures.
