1
Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease linked to systemic immunometabolic dysfunction and common comorbidities like obesity and metabolic syndrome.
-
2
Dietary patterns, particularly low adherence to Mediterranean diets and high glycaemic diets, are associated with increased HS disease severity and micronutrient deficiencies.
-
3
Interventional studies on dietary changes in HS are limited, but some evidence suggests potential improvement with low-calorie ketogenic diets and yeast-exclusion diets.
-
4
Bariatric surgery may worsen HS in some patients due to malabsorption and persistent micronutrient deficiencies, highlighting the importance of nutritional status.

5
Further controlled studies are needed to establish causality between dietary habits and HS, emphasizing the potential benefits of anti-inflammatory diets and micronutrient optimization.
