Altered levels of distinct chemokines, like CCL5\/RANTES, CXCL12\/SDF-1a, CCL7\/MCP-3, CCL2\/MCP-1, CXCL1\/GROa, and the eotaxin family, contribute to the development and\/or exacerbation of inflammation, which is a common feature of numerous skin diseases as well as metabolic syndrome. The pathological and molecular connections between chronic inflammatory skin diseases and metabolic syndrome are increasingly recognized as being driven by shared inflammatory pathways, oxidative stress, and adipokine dysregulation. While systemic inflammation acts as a common thread, the precise mechanisms for some conditions remain partially understood. Nevertheless, the exact pathological and molecular connections between skin diseases (i.e., psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, pemphigus vulgaris, acute and chronic spontaneous urticaria, bullous pemphigoid, squamous cell carcinoma, alopecia areata, systemic sclerosis, discoid lupus erythematosus, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma) and metabolic syndrome are not yet fully understood. This narrative review summarizes the robust association between various chronic inflammatory skin diseases and metabolic syndrome in the context of pro-inflammatory chemokines.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/metabo16040253","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,10]],"date-time":"2026-04-10T10:20:16Z","timestamp":1775816416000},"page":"253","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Common Skin Diseases and Metabolic Syndrome: A Proinflammatory Chemokine Perspective"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2873-4001","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mateusz","family":"Matwiejuk","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology and Venerology, Medical University of Bialystok, 15-540 Bialystok, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1948-0545","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hanna","family":"My\u015bliwiec","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology and Venerology, Medical University of Bialystok, 15-540 Bialystok, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4936-3120","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Agnieszka","family":"Mik\u0142osz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physiology, Medical University of Bialystok, 15-222 Bialystok, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7407-8156","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Adrian","family":"Chabowski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physiology, Medical University of Bialystok, 15-222 Bialystok, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5923-910X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Iwona","family":"Flisiak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology and Venerology, Medical University of Bialystok, 15-540 Bialystok, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"m1590","DOI":"10.1136\/bmj.m1590","article-title":"National, regional, and worldwide epidemiology of psoriasis: Systematic analysis and modelling study","volume":"369","author":"Parisi","year":"2020","journal-title":"BMJ"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e14263","DOI":"10.1111\/dth.14263","article-title":"Efficacy and safety of a topical moisturizer containing linoleic acid and ceramide for mild-to-moderate psoriasis vulgaris: A multicenter randomized controlled trial","volume":"33","author":"Li","year":"2020","journal-title":"Dermatol.
