Analysis of Online Diet Recommendations for Vitiligo.

Internet platforms have become a common source of information for individuals with skin diseases such as vitiligo, and the vitiligo community frequently turns to online sources for diet modifications that may be beneficial for their disease. In this study, our objective was to summarize information from the most frequently visited websites providing diet suggestions that reportedly affected vitiligo symptoms. Notable diet categories for food components included vitamins, fruits, omega-3 fatty acids, grains, minerals, vegetables, and nuts. Evidence supporting online dietary recommendations for vitiligo is limited in the published scientific literature. Further controlled clinical trials are warranted to assess the relationship between diet and vitiligo and evaluate the accuracy of online diet recommendations for vitiligo.
