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 persimmons?

Patients with skin allergies can generally eat persimmons. Persimmons are cold in nature and sweet in taste. From the perspective of Chinese medicine, persimmons have the effects of clearing heat, transforming phlegm, moisturizing the lungs, and stopping coughs. Clinically, it is very rare to see patients who are allergic to persimmons. Therefore, in general, people with skin allergies can eat persimmons. However, persimmons should not be eaten in excess or on an empty stomach, as they may form indigestible hard masses in the stomach, which are not conducive to digestion and elimination, leading to the so-called persimmon bezoar syndrome. This condition can cause stomach bleeding and gastric perforation in patients with gastric ulcers.

Can I eat crab if I have a skin allergy?

People with skin allergies should avoid eating crab. Crab is cold in nature and salty in taste, containing a rich array of trace elements and is a high-protein food. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that crab has the effects of clearing heat, relaxing tendons and activating blood circulation, and facilitating joints. However, it is also considered a product that can activate internal wind, classified as an allergenic food. Similarly, Western medicine recognizes crab as a form of foreign protein. Clinically, we have seen patients who are allergic to crab, so for those with skin allergies, we do not recommend eating crab.
