Patient's question:
Can people with eczema eat seafood? The child has been in this condition for a while, and I'm hesitant to give them medication. Please give some advice to the doctor.Doctor's answer:
Hello, can eczema patients eat seafood? It is necessary to undergo an allergen test. If the result is positive, they should not eat it. If the result is negative, they can eat it. However, seafood is considered an irritant, so even if it is safe to eat, it should be consumed in moderation rather than in large quantities. Additionally, it is important to monitor any changes after consumption. If the rash worsens or itching intensifies after eating seafood, it is best to avoid it.Besides seafood, it is also advisable to avoid beef, lamb, and spicy or irritating foods. Spicy or irritating foods include raw onions, raw garlic, strong tea, coffee, and alcohol, among others.
Furthermore, it is best to avoid offal (animal internal organs) and parts like heads and feet, as they are considered irritants. Nuts, such as walnuts, hazelnuts, and pine nuts, should also be consumed with caution.
