The very low-calorie ketogenic diet (VLCKD) has shown efficacy addressing related metabolic disorders, and reducing chronic inflammation. However, its effects on HS remain underexplored. In this prospective pilot study, we aimed to investigate the impact of a 28-day active phase VLCKD sample treatment-naive women excess...
