What role does diet play in managing and preventing rashes?
Diet can play a significant role in managing and preventing certain types of rashes. For instance, some children with eczema may have food allergies or sensitivities that trigger flare-ups. Common allergens include dairy, eggs, soy, and nuts. An elimination diet supervised by a healthcare provider can help identify and avoid these triggers. A balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals supports overall skin health, and staying hydrated is crucial for maintaining skin hydration and integrity.
