What foods are good to eat if you have allergies on your face?

During the allergic stage of the face, give priority to eating light foods with low histamine, high antioxidants, and no additional additives, which can help speed up the repair of the skin barrier and relieve redness and itchiness.

Last month, I had a friend who was allergic to poplar. He forgot to wear a mask when he went out to catch up on a project. After running outside for a day, his cheekbones turned red like ripe peaches when he came home, and he also developed a dense rash. I originally wanted to bear it and wait for it to go away on its own, but it turned out to be so itchy that I could not sleep for the rest of the night, so I rushed to the dermatology department of the hospital to register the next day. In addition to prescribing topical calcineurin inhibitors and oral loratadine, the doctor specifically told me to pay attention to my diet and gave a general reference direction.

She followed the food strictly those days and even stopped drinking the fruit tea with milk cap that she usually liked to drink. Within a week, all her allergies were gone without even leaving any red marks. Speaking of which, the ingredients are very common. The staple food is basically steamed pumpkin, millet porridge, iron yam, etc. There are no strange additions, which will not add extra metabolic burden to the body. The vegetables are common green leafy vegetables such as ordinary cabbage, broccoli, and celery. Occasionally, a small piece of green vegetables is added. The omega-3 ingredients in steamed sea bass are like "extinguishing fire" to skin cells that are losing their temper. They can suppress many inflammatory factors that cause itchiness. Every day, she also eats a small bowl of blueberries at room temperature. The high antioxidant ingredients can help stabilize damaged cells and prevent repeated redness.

Oh, by the way, there is quite a controversy about allergy diets on the Internet. I once read a blogger who said that his mild allergy was completely cured by drinking vegetable porridge without taking medicine at all. A clinician commented below to refute, saying that this method is only suitable for very mild cases with only sporadic redness and no other discomfort. If there is swelling, oozing, and itching that affects sleep and you still insist on not taking medicine, it can easily become a chronic and repeated allergy, which will attack if you are slightly stimulated in the future. I specifically asked the doctor who treated my friend, and he said that both opinions are actually reasonable. People who have mild allergic reactions can indeed recover by adjusting their diet and avoiding allergens. However, if the symptoms are more obvious, dietary adjustment can only be used as a supplement and must not be regarded as the only way to treat the disease.

Don’t blindly follow the trend and eat “anti-allergy foods” spread on the Internet. For example, many people say that eating honey can prevent allergies. For people who are allergic to pollen and bee products, eating it will directly aggravate the symptoms. Some people say that drinking more lemon water to supplement vitamin C can speed up recovery. However, lemon is a photosensitive food, and the barrier on the face is already thin during allergies. After eating it, going out in the sun will easily aggravate the redness and leave discoloration. If you are really not sure whether something can be eaten, think about whether it is heavy-tasting, whether it has a lot of spices added, and whether it is of a type that is usually susceptible to allergies, such as mango, pineapple, and hairy peaches. Try not to touch it during the allergic period. If the itching suddenly becomes worse after eating something, stop immediately. If it is serious, go to the hospital as soon as possible. Don't hold on to it and delay things.
