Nutritional dermatology is an emerging research area exploring how diet and lifestyle factors may affect chronic inflammatory skin diseases. Our research concentrates on psoriasis and acne, integrating nutritional science, dermatology, psychological medicine, dietary intervention trials, and population health.

Our studies have:

• established links between diet quality and plant-rich dietary patterns and reduced psoriasis severity
• identified poorer diet quality in individuals with psoriasis and cardiometabolic comorbidities within the UK Biobank
• highlighted significant gaps in the evidence surrounding diet, mental health, and the gut-skin axis in skin disease

This research helps lay the groundwork for future dietary intervention trials and more evidence-based nutritional support in dermatology.
