Targeting Dysbiosis in Psoriasis, Atopic Dermatitis, and Hidradenitis Suppurativa: An Updated Review of the Gut-Skin Axis and Microbiome-Directed Therapy

Emerging evidence highlights the interconnection of the gut-skin microbiota in disease pathogenesis, progression, and as a potential therapeutic target for the management of inflammatory-driven cutaneous diseases. Although not fully understood, recent research has indicated that commensal microbiota and the interaction of the gut-skin axis play an important role in maintaining the skin homeostasis. Dysbiosis and disruption of skin-gut microbiome may lead to impaired skin barrier function thus triggering downstream inflammatory responses involved in the development of inflammatory skin disorders, especially in atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, and hidradenitis suppurativa.
