This is a constant fight for me as well. I have skin psoriasis which developed into psoriatic arthritis around 7 years ago and I've been trying to find foods that help it or at the very least don't worsen it. Unfortunately there is little evidence that foods have a huge impact on it aside from anecdotal evidence and from that it appears it varies from person to person. It's very frustrating.
I suffer from dermatitis sebbhorreitis
what changed everything for me even making it almost disappear (I only use a special shampoo once a week) is :
1) avoiding anything acidic : acidic foods will lower the PH of the blood, making it easier for fungus and bacterias to proliferate. Yes I know that the PH of the blood is tighly regulated, so is temperature, but stay 2 hours at minus 30°C and you'll see what I mean.
it's all about respecting PH
2) drinking a lot of raw milk. raw milk has very beneficial bacterias that populate intestine and fight bad bacterias proliferation. Also it has a lot of calcium, which help regulate the PH of the blood (same idea as 1))
3) eat raw cheeses. If you can't find raw milk eat a lot of raw cheeses for the same benefits as milk (bacterias and calcium)
4) lower sugars. I eat sugars a little bit but not a lot
5) if you're vey stressed, it can affect skin as well
6) stop plants (full of harmful agrochemicals)
Try to eliminate foods that are hurtful to your skin, by processus of elimination : start by eliminating ALL plants (i mean it). Start by trying to be carnivore (milk cream, cheeses, meat) and see if it improves. If it does, like it did for me, then you got something good. Work on that.
hope you get better
