    About one-third of children with eczema have a food allergy, and eating certain foods will make their symptoms of eczema worse. Some of the most common food allergies include cow’s milk, hen’s eggs, peanut, soy, nuts, and fish.[1] Interestingly, there is little evidence that exclusion diets have any benefit for adults and children with eczema.[2]
