Overview
Psoriasis vulgaris is one of the most common skin, chronic, immune-related diseases. It affects about 0.5–11% of the adult population. The treatment integrates local and systemic therapy, in cases of moderate to severe psoriasis, biologic therapy is used. The modification of eating habits or using nutritional supplements in patients with psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis has been an observed area for several decades. Patients with this skin disease, especially after their initial diagnosis, want to know whether changing diets can contribute to improving their health problems. The article briefly summarizes the most recent findings on the impact of selected nutrition areas – gluten-free diet, hypocaloric diet, nutritional supplements, alcohol – on the incidence of psoriasis, the severity of skin changes or the quality of life. Changing diet in certain groups of patients with psoriasis has beneficial effects, but nutritional interventions should always be seen as an additional form of treatment along with the standardized treatment of psoriasis.
