A member asked:
Can eczema be controlled by my diet?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It can if....: ...It is being caused by a sensitivity to something in your diet. If, for instance, you are sensitive to milk protein, then removing that from your diet may help. If, on the other hand, you are sensitive to perfumes, changing your diet won't help. Probiotics added to your diet on a daily basis have been shown in some studies to help improve eczema.
