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.

What is seasonal skin allergy?

Seasonal skin allergies are allergic reactions of the skin triggered by allergens that occur during specific seasons. For example, in spring, pollen allergies might lead to dermatitis, eczema, or urticaria; in summer, the intense ultraviolet rays can cause solar dermatitis, and in the cold weather of autumn and winter, cold urticaria or allergic dermatitis might occur. These conditions only appear during specific seasons and generally ease off or disappear after the season ends without the need for treatment. These are characteristics of seasonal skin allergies. In such cases, it is advisable to regularly exercise to boost the immune system to fight against allergens, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and refrain from staying up late.

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.

Can people with skin allergies eat grapes?

People with skin allergies can generally eat grapes. If there is no allergic reaction to the components of grapes, eating them during an allergy period will not worsen the condition. Skin allergies are often closely related to diet. Consuming foods that commonly cause allergies, such as milk, eggs, seafood, fish, shrimp, and crab, can trigger allergic reactions in the body. People who are prone to allergies may also react to airborne dust, pollen, and animal fur. When experiencing skin allergies, it is important to use antihistamine medication under a doctor’s guidance and identify the cause to avoid contact and prevent recurrence. It's also advisable to avoid spicy and irritating foods when suffering from skin allergies.

Can people with skin allergies eat grapefruit?

Patients with skin allergies can generally eat grapefruit. From the perspective of Chinese medicine, grapefruit is considered cool in nature with a sweet and sour taste. It has the effects of aiding digestion, transforming phlegm and stopping coughs, harmonizing the stomach and regulating qi, as well as detoxifying alcohol. Clinically, it is rare to encounter patients allergic to grapefruit, so it is usually safe for people with skin allergies to eat grapefruit, unless they are absolutely allergic to it.
