Multiple chronic dermatological conditions, such as acne and rosacea, are typically treated with repeated courses of antibiotics such as doxycycline and minocycline. However, the newer guidelines within dermatology call for decreased antibiotic use to reduce the development of drug-resistant bacteria and the impact on the microbiome. This presentation reviews how gut health and the gut microbiome can relate to the skin. In particular, we highlight the role of foods and nutritional supplements like probiotics in their impact on skin diseases such as acne and rosacea.
