What food we should EAT and AVOID when we get Eczema.

Last few weeks, i have got eczema on my fingers. The dryness, redness, cracking, flaking and itching skin on my fingers really made me no choice to touch it or scratch it. As we know, the more we touch it, the bigger it will enlarge the rash or maybe it will spread to other part of our body. I didn't see any doctor because I thought that was a very small matter, the rashes are smaller than a size of a 5 cent coin. Until today, they are still dry and itchy.

So today, I tried to search around the Google that what we shouldn't eat when we got eczema. There are many things that cause eczema, one of the causes are from man-made food, convenience food and counter-season food, etc. For eczema patients included me, we must first to know that which type of food that we should avoid. Most of the food today are made with some chemical synthesis, such as saccharine, acetic acid, acid of lemon, essence, synthetic dye, etc. So, all these chemical may cause the food allergy, thus causes the production of eczema.

AVOID! 
1. Type of vegetable: Ginger, coriander, turnip, mushroom & green chilli pepper.

2. Type of meat: Beef, mutton, chicken (except free range chicken), duck, pigeon meat.

3. Type of seafood: Most type of fish, crab & prawn. (Suggested to eat pork without fat, eggs & milk)

4. Seasoning ingredients: Aniseed, peppers, fennel, cinnamon, mustard, chilli sauce, rice vinegar, hot pot seasoning, instant noodle seasoning, etc.

5. All type of alcohol.

6. Raw food: fresh onion, fresh garlic.

7. Nuts: Almond, chestnut, walnut.

8. Fruits: Peach, grape, lychee, banana, pineapple, mango and strawberry.

9. Tea.

10. Eat out. (Contains the most seasoning that could worsen the eczema.)
