Eggs, Nuts and Milk in Dermatology

Food

allergies have increased in recent years and the skin is one of the most common

sites of involvement. Eggs, peanuts, and milk are the most common allergens in

the population. Cutaneous involvement of food allergies manifests in various

clinical presentations such as acute urticaria, angioedema, contact dermatitis,

aggravation of atopic dermatitis, and contact urticaria. The importance of

cutaneous sensitization in the development of food allergy and other allergic

diseases has been emphasized recently. Preventive measures such as early

regular use of emollients and early introduction of allergenic foods have shown

promising results in preventing food allergy and atopic dermatitis. In addition

to allergic diseases, milk is associated with acne and hidradenitis suppurativa

by stimulating anabolic metabolic pathways. Although there are many studies

showing the association between milk and acne, there is not enough evidence for

hidradenitis suppurativa
