Abstract

The gut-skin axis is an emerging concept that highlights the intricate relationship between gut health and dermatological well-being. This review explores the bidirectional communication between the gastrointestinal system and the skin, emphasizing the role of gut microbiota in modulating skin health. Dysbiosis, or microbial imbalance in the gut, has been linked to various skin conditions, including acne, psoriasis, and atopic dermatitis. The mechanisms underlying this connection involve immune system modulation, inflammatory pathways, and metabolic byproducts produced by gut microbes. Probiotics, prebiotics, and dietary interventions are discussed as potential therapeutic strategies to restore gut microbiota balance and improve skin health. Understanding the gut-skin axis offers promising avenues for novel dermatological treatments and underscores the importance of holistic approaches in managing skin disorders.
