Does food cause eczema?
My 3-year-old son has been suffering from eczema for months, and it's really painful for him. I'm constantly trying to figure out what triggers it. Can certain foods directly cause or worsen eczema outbreaks in children?

In my experience, certain foods can trigger eczema flare-ups, especially if you already have inflammatory issues. Dairy and gluten seem to make it worse for some people. It's best to maintain a food diary to see what triggers your skin specifically.

Process sugar and fried foods can increase overall inflammation, which sometimes shows up on your skin as eczema. Keeping your diet clean with plenty of leafy greens and clean proteins can really help calm things down. Regular sweat sessions also help detoxify.

My dermatologist at Kokilaben Hospital told me that while food doesn't directly cause eczema, food allergies can definitely flare it up. You should get a proper allergy patch test done. Don't start cutting out major food groups without consulting your doctor.
