Abstract Summary Dermatological diseases such as acne, hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), and psoriasis are driven by chronic inflammation oxidative stress. Emerging evidence highlights the role of nutrition in modulating these conditions, particularly through dietary patterns rich antioxidants, polyphenols, unsaturated fatty acids. Recent Findings The Mediterranean diet (MedDiet) has demonstrated potential benefits due to its anti-inflammatory immunomodulatory effects, while very low-energy ketogenic therapy (VLEKT) shown promise rapidly improving disease severity. Specific nutrients, including omega-3 acids, probiotics, micronutrients, may further contribute management. However, current literature is limited small-scale studies lack standardized guidelines. Purpose Review This Consensus Statement , developed collaboratively Italian Association Dietetics Clinical Nutrition (ADI), Society Dermatology Sexually Transmitted Diseases (SIDeMaST), Nutraceuticals (SINut), Club Ketodiets “KetoNut-SINut” Endocrinology (SIE), Nutrition, Hormones Metabolism aimed establish an evidence-based framework for medical (MNT) most common inflammatory skin diseases, HS psoriasis.

Chronic inflammation and increased oxidative stress are contributing factors to many non-communicable diseases. A growing body of evidence indicates that dietary nutrients can activate the immune system may lead overproduction pro-inflammatory cytokines. Fatty acids as macronutrients key players for immunomodulation, with n-3 polyunsaturated fatty having most beneficial effect, while polyphenols carotenoids seem be promising antioxidants. Psoriasis is a chronic, immune-mediated inflammatory disease multifactorial etiology. Obesity major risk factor psoriasis, which leads worse clinical outcomes. Weight loss interventions and, generally, regimens such gluten-free Mediterranean diet or supplement use potentially improve psoriasis’ natural course response therapy.
