| Sumario: | AIMS: To review the scientific bibliography in order to identify the effect of the diet’s glycemic load in acne vulgaris treatment. SOURCE OF DATA: original and review articles indexed in databases SciELO, Lilacs, PubMed and Medline, written in English, Spanish and Portuguese, and published from 1990, were reviewed. The review included books from the collection of Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul and Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul libraries. SUMMARY OF FINDINGS: Acne vulgaris is a chronic skin condition, specific of the pilosebaceous follicles, caused by genetic, hormonal, dietary and psychological factors. Usual diet influences the development of this condition, mainly due to the glycemic load, which can cause changes in endocrine and biochemical parameters related to the development of acne. CONCLUSION: Changes in diet can improve acne and its associated factors. |
