Top Eczema Triggers To Avoid

Foods

The most common food allergens can often contribute to eczema. Cow’s milk, eggs, soy, gluten, nuts, fish, and shellfish are the top triggers. Patients should try keeping a journal of foods they have eaten and linking them to worsening eczema symptoms, by using an elimination diet to pinpoint the most likely cause of food-related symptoms. Visit an allergist for testing if symptoms are traced to a particular food as some individuals may have related food allergies which could be severe. These need to be diagnosed and treated by a physician to avoid any possible life-threatening reactions.
