Patients with skin allergies are advised not to drink milk. This is because the components in milk are relatively likely to exacerbate allergies, as it contains many allergens. Therefore, it is best to avoid drinking milk. However, if an allergen test is conducted and none of the components in milk cause an allergic reaction in the patient, it is safe to drink milk. Additionally, after experiencing skin allergies, it is beneficial to eat light foods and avoid rich foods, such as fish, shrimp, crab, etc.

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 peanuts?

If you have skin allergies, be a little cautious with peanuts. If you have never been allergic to peanuts, eating them while having a skin allergy should not be a problem. Peanuts have high nutritional value and can be compared to animal foods such as eggs, milk, and meat, earning them the nickname "longevity fruit." Traditional Chinese medicine says that peanuts can strengthen the spleen and stomach and moisten the lungs to reduce phlegm. Clinically, we still see patients who are allergic to peanuts. Therefore, if you have been allergic to peanuts before, you should avoid eating them.
