What foods can you eat if you have skin allergies?

There is no unified "white list of foods that can be eaten" for skin allergies. As long as you are clearly not allergic to foods that will not aggravate allergic symptoms such as redness, itching, and rashes after eating them, you can eat them normally. There is no need to blindly avoid large-scale foods.

Last week I met a 22-year-old girl who had allergic dermatitis on her face caused by pollen in spring. When she came to the doctor, her cheeks were swollen and shiny. She said that she had only dared to drink white porridge for three days and did not even dare to touch steamed eggs for fear of aggravating her allergies. When I asked her about eating eggs and drinking milk, she never felt uncomfortable. I told her on the spot that she should drink hot milk and milk.

When many people are allergic, they first make a long blacklist of taboo foods. Beef, mutton, seafood, mango, and pineapple are all on the list. In fact, this is confusing "foods with high risk of allergy" and "foods you cannot eat." There are always different opinions about "fat food". Traditionally, it is believed that hot and spicy food will aggravate the inflammatory reaction. If you do feel uncomfortable eating these foods, or you believe in this logic, it is okay to have appropriate food taboos. There is no need to tighten it. After all, relaxing your mood is also conducive to allergy recovery. But if nothing happens after what you usually eat, there is no need to give up hard. I have seen many patients who are not allergic to seafood. During the allergy period, they ate steamed shrimp, and the symptoms did not worsen. However, they improved faster after taking high-quality protein supplements.

If you really want to remind you, there are only two types of food that you can pay a little attention to, but they are not absolutely untouchable: one type is high in histamine content, such as blue cheese that has been fermented for a long time, salty hairtail that has been pickled for more than half a month, leftovers that have been stored for two or three days, and red wine that has been opened for several days. The other type is particularly irritating, such as spicy butter hot pot and high-altitude liquor above 50 degrees. These will quickly expand blood vessels on the surface of the skin. During the allergic period, the face will be red and hot. The redness may be more obvious after eating. If you are really hungry and want to eat, just apply a cold towel for 5 minutes after eating. It is not a scourge that cannot be touched.

Not long ago, there was a young man who suffered from acute urticaria. The allergen was checked and he was allergic to dust mites. He said that he loves spicy food and loves eating crayfish. He had never had any problems eating it before. I told him to eat it without any restrictions. He would eat whatever he wanted when he returned. The rash was completely gone in about a week. He was better than those patients who only dared to drink white porridge every day and were so hungry that their whole body became weak.

To put it bluntly, there is no standard answer to the diet during the allergy period. Just like if you are allergic to mango, then the mango is your exclusive minefield. If others eat it, you can't touch it. If you are not allergic to mango, there will be no problem even if you eat it during the allergy period. You don’t have to be bound by the cookie-cutter list of taboos on the Internet. You can do whatever makes you feel comfortable. If you eat happily, your immunity will follow and your allergies will heal faster.
