To fundamentally cure skin allergies, it is first necessary to identify the allergens causing the patient's allergies. Once the allergens are identified, it is essential to avoid further contact with these allergens. Subsequently, treatment can be undertaken using anti-allergy or antihistamine drugs. Finally, during the period of skin allergy, it is important to maintain a light diet, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and abstain from smoking and alcohol.

Can you eat eggs if you have a skin allergy?

Eating eggs in case of skin allergies depends on the situation. If you have never been allergic to eggs and have been consuming them, then you can still eat eggs even if you have a skin allergy. Eggs are considered neutrally balanced and sweet, containing almost all the nutrients required by the human body, thus they are often referred to as ideal nutrient stores. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that eggs have the effects of nourishing yin and moistening dryness, as well as nourishing blood and stabilizing pregnancy. Clinically, egg allergies are more commonly seen in infants and toddlers. Therefore, if you have never eaten eggs before, or if you have been diagnosed with an egg allergy through an allergen test, you should not eat eggs when you have a skin allergy.

Can people with skin allergies eat lamb?

Patients with skin allergies are generally advised not to eat lamb. Lamb is considered very warm and sweet in nature. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), it is said to nourish the kidneys, strengthen yang, dispel wind and cold, and benefit qi and blood. It is categorized in TCM as a warming and drying food that promotes yang, and is considered a trigger food. It can often induce or exacerbate skin diseases. Therefore, in clinical practice, we generally do not recommend lamb to patients with skin allergies. If it is necessary to consume, it should be eaten minimally.

What can you eat with skin allergies?

Skin allergies are caused by exposure to allergens. If skin allergies occur, it is best to check for allergens to see which foods or substances you are allergic to. Foods that do not cause allergic reactions upon testing or after consumption can be eaten. However, foods such as fish, shrimp, beef, lamb, seafood, eggs, and milk are more likely to cause allergies and should be avoided as much as possible.
