Veganism is a practice that promotes abstinence from all animal-derived products or foods. While veganism commonly refers to adopting a vegan diet, the term "veganism" also encompasses broader lifestyle practices. As veganism grows in popularity, patients often turn to their der-matologists for guidance regarding the identification of vegan ingredients in personal care and hair care products. Additionally, several over-the-counter (OTC) and prescription medications recommended in the management of dermatologic conditions are often questioned about their applicability to veganism. We discuss the relevance of vegan diets to dermatologic clinical practice, address common questions relevant to patients, and offer guidance on how to identify vegan products.
素食主义是一种提倡戒除所有动物源性产品或食物的做法。虽然素食主义通常是指采用素食饮食，但“素食主义”这个词也包含了更广泛的生活方式实践。随着素食主义的日益普及，患者经常向皮肤科医生寻求指导，以识别个人护理和护发产品中的素食成分。此外，在皮肤科疾病管理中推荐的几种非处方 (OTC) 和处方药物也经常被质疑其在素食主义中的适用性。我们讨论了素食饮食与皮肤科临床实践的相关性，回答了与患者相关的常见问题，并提供了如何识别素食产品的指导。
