Is your eczema being caused by your diet? Will avoiding foods make your eczema go away? Are food allergies to blame?
The relationship between eczema and food has long been a topic of discussion. In our digital world, there’s more information than ever on how your diet may affect your eczema. Experts from OHSU Dermatology and OHSU Allergy and Immunology will present the latest research on food allergies and their connection with eczema, including recommendations on living a healthy lifestyle with eczema.
