Eczema is a skin allergic inflammation caused by factors such as skin infection, endocrine disorders, low immunity, and food allergies. It causes the skin to be itchy and unbearable, with phenomena such as boils and ulcers. If you scratch at will with your hands, it may lead to the rupture of boils and infection of other places. The cause of eczema is also closely related to food allergies, and many people are very concerned about whether eczema patients can eat eggs?

Can eczema patients eat chicken or eggs? A small number of people may have an allergic reaction to eggs, but it is not ‘specific’, not every patient will have an allergic reaction when eating eggs, including eczema patients. Peanuts are the same; some people are worried about allergies. Patients can choose to eat peanut soup instead of roasted peanuts (which may contain preservatives), as preservatives can indeed cause allergic reactions in some patients.

Allergens are diverse, including not only food but also mold spores, pollen, and fragments of textile products in the air, which can cause allergies through breathing. Household cleaning agents, fabric softeners, laundry detergents, and other products can also worsen eczema.

Key points of health care for eczema patients

1. Maintain skin cleanliness and other aspects

Eczema patients should maintain skin cleanliness, avoid overfatigue, and avoid spicy, strong-smelling, wind-inducing, and other foods that may trigger or worsen eczema. These are all aspects of eczema care that need attention. When the skin lesions of eczema patients are widespread or secondary infection occurs or systemic erythema is triggered, please go to the hospital for treatment, and hospitalization may be necessary when necessary.

2. Suitable for cold wet compress

In the health care of eczema, it is important to pay attention to the appropriate use of cold wet compresses. For subacute eczema with skin damage, cold wet compresses are more suitable. For chronic skin damage, warm wet compresses can be used, and for chronic hypertrophic skin damage, heat is more suitable. The area of wet compresses for eczema patients should not be too large, and continuous wet compresses can be applied when there is obvious edema or exudation.

3. Avoid adverse stimulation and other factors

Patients with eczema should avoid adverse stimulation and incorrect methods of dealing with the disease. The underwear of eczema patients should be soft and comfortable cotton products. It is not advisable to wash or soak in hot water during the acute stage of eczema, as excessive scratching may lead to infection. This is also something that needs to be paid attention to in the health care of eczema.
