What should i do if i have eczema and suspect that some foods trigger pink splotches on my face + my eczema- i want a patch test?

Get tested: Can get a skin Test or Blood Test (ImmunoCap) for foods. OR Patch test for cosmetics. About 30-40% of patients with Eczema have an associated food allergy.

Food Triggers: Evidence to suggest that moderate/severe eczema in early childhood could be worsened by certain foods (usually highly allergenic foods like peanut, tree nuts, milk, eggs, etc.). Food triggers are not usually an issue with adult eczema. If you notice a consistent pattern of worsening eczema with a particular food then by all means avoid it. Skin prick testing better that patch. See Allergist.
