Due to the advances in DNA sequencing techniques and tools for understanding the human microbiome, the important role of the gut microbiome in maintaining human health has been demonstrated. Recent scientific discoveries emphasize the role of gut dysbiosis in the occurrence of skin diseases. Gut dysbiosis is observed in patients with atopic dermatitis, psoriasis and acne vulgaris and is currently considered as a possible cause of these diseases. Disturbances related to the functioning of the gut-skin axis have also been observed in patients with alopecia areata, vitiligo and melanoma. The therapeutic efficacy of probiotics has been demonstrated in many dermatological diseases. Further research to better understand the mechanisms linking the gut microbiota to the skin could provide a better understanding of the pathophysiology of dermatological disorders.
