What foods should not be eaten if you have skin allergies?

In fact, there is no unified list of taboos that applies to everyone. The only things that you should 100% avoid are the foods that you are clearly allergic to. Other so-called "allergic taboo foods" must be judged based on your own situation. Don't blindly follow the trend of taboos. A while ago, I went with my best friend to the dermatology department to check for spring allergies. Her face was red and itchy for almost a week. She said that she had avoided seafood, beef and mutton for five days, and even dared not touch eggs. As a result, she drank half a cup of fruit tea with fresh pineapple the day before, and her face became straight. The joint was as swollen as a half-swollen steamed bun, and her eyes were narrowed to a slit. After checking the allergens, she found out that she was not allergic to seafood, beef, and mutton at all. The allergen was the protease in pineapple. She had been hungry for several days and stepped on her own allergy mine.

Some people may ask, before I find out the allergens, is there anything I need to avoid? There are indeed several types of high-risk foods. It doesn’t mean that something will happen if you eat them, but it’s just that eating them during an allergy attack will most likely aggravate the discomfort. For example, leftovers that have been left out for two or three days, cured goods that have been pickled for more than half a year, and fermented wines such as red wine, the histamine content in them is particularly high. When you are allergic, the histamine in your body is already "making trouble". If you add such a wave, it will be easy. It can easily double the symptoms of redness and itchiness. When I was allergic before, I was so greedy that I ate half a piece of two-day-old sauced duck. I was so itchy that I couldn't sleep for half the night. A rash that was going away quickly popped up again. I really advise everyone not to try it.

As for the "foods" that are so popular, such as beef, mutton, eggs, and seafood, in fact, there is currently no unified conclusion in the dermatology community that these foods will directly aggravate all types of skin allergies. I have friends who still eat steak during their allergies, and their recovery is no slower than those who have taboos. On the contrary, some people only eat white porridge and vegetables every day because of taboos. Their nutrition cannot keep up, their resistance is lost, and their allergies are not cured for half a month. But if you feel that your allergies are getting worse every time you eat a certain kind of "fat food", then needless to say, it's okay to avoid it for the time being.

People often ask whether spicy food can be eaten. The same logic applies. If your face becomes hotter and redder after eating spicy food, then tolerate it first. If you don’t like spicy food at ordinary times and you don’t have any special reactions after eating it, you don’t need to eat it specially. As long as you don’t sweat profusely, the sweat will irritate your allergic skin. If you are still confused about what you should avoid, it is better to take the time to get a food allergen test, or keep a food diary for two weeks. Note down what you eat and the condition of your skin. It is more effective than searching for a list of ten taboos on the Internet. After all, there are really huge individual differences in allergies.
