Nutritional Dermatology: Advances for Acne, Acne Inversa, Eczema, and Psoriasis
Nutritional therapy plays an important role in the management of inflammatory skin disorders, however, in the United Kingdom, over 90% of dermatologists feel they need additional nutrition training and access to specialist support from nutrition professionals. There is an important and unmet need for disease-specific, evidence-based training on the role of nutrition in dermatology.
This seminar series provides an update and review of the nutritional malmanagement of some of the most encountered clinical challenges; acne, acne inversa (hidradenitis suppurativa), eczema (atopic dermatitis), and psoriasis.
