Not likely: Lactose intolerance and eczema are not known to be connected, but a true milk allergy could cause a skin rash. Avoiding dairy products for a couple weeks could help determine if dairy products are causing skin symptoms.

Perhaps: Foods that have been found to cause eczema in some individuals include wheat, eggs, cow's milk (protein), peanuts, shellfish, food additives, and naturally occurring food chemicals. An allergist would be able to test for various food and environmental allergies that may be contributing to your dermatitis.
