When we treat chronic skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, acne, and rosacea, we’re not just looking at the skin anymore… we’re also looking at the gut🧠🦠🩵
Your gut is home to trillions of microbes (bacteria, fungi, even viruses) that help with:
• Digestion & nutrition
• Immune system balance
• Overall inflammation levels
When this community is balanced, it can help support calm, healthy skin.
When it’s out of balance (dysbiosis), it may contribute to:
• More inflammation
• “Leaky gut” (increased intestinal permeability)
• Signals that can show up as skin flares
This connection is often called the gut–skin axis. Instead of only putting creams on the skin, we also ask:
👉 What’s going on in the gut?
At Vitality Integrative Skin Clinic, we combine dermatology with gut-focused strategies when appropriate to support chronic skin conditions from the inside and outside.
