Effect of adding a diet with index and low glycemic load for 12 weeks in the treatment of moderate acne: Randomized clinical trial

Background: Acne is a self-limiting disorder of the pilosebaceous unit that is observed mainly in adolescents and young adults. It affects the self-esteem and quality of life of those who suffer from it, mainly because of the scars that it leaves as a sequel in cases of inflammatory acne. As the main reason for dermatologic consultation, it is extremely important to investigate new therapeutic options. Recent studies have suggested that dietary factors, specifically glycemic load, may be involved in the pathogenesis of acne.
