Food Allergy: Yes food allergies can cause atopic dermatitis. Testing may not always be accurate. My suggestion is to do a food challenge by eliminating the food you are worried about for a week and then introducing it back. If you skin clears and then gets the rash back after reintroducing the offending food, simply avoid that food.
