Researchers in Poland published a study exploring the connection between the gut microbiome and skin diseases, focusing on the use of probiotics to correct gut dysbiosis as a treatment. Skin diseases contribute substantially to global health, and environmental and genetic factors often cause them. The gut microbiome plays a significant role in various diseases, including dermatological ones. The gut microbiome consists of trillions of microorganisms that synthesize essential metabolites, and its profile is established during childhood. Antibiotic use, genetics, diet, and lifestyle factors affect the gut microbiome. The review found a strong association between gut dysbiosis and atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, acne, and alopecia areata. The study recommends further research on the use of probiotics as a therapeutic avenue for skin diseases.
