Mediterranean Diet Adherence and Acne Vulgaris Severity in an Iranian Population: A Case‐Control Study

Although the development of acne is influenced by a range of factors, emerging research suggests that dietary choices may also play a role in acne management. The Mediterranean diet is an antioxidant‐rich, low‐glycemic diet with preventive benefit against a range of chronic illnesses. We aimed to investigate the adherence to Mediterranean diet in acne patients and its association with disease severity.
