Can infants with wet rashes eat egg yolks?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

In the case of eczema, it's not that you can't eat a yolk, but rather whether eating it will worsen your son's eczema. If it doesn't worsen, you can continue eating it. A yolk is rich in iron. If your son is exclusively breastfed, it's best to eat a yolk because the iron content in breast milk is not sufficient to meet the baby's needs.
