Inflammation may or may not occur when you have eczema, there are certain things that trigger it, such as:

Diet

  • red or processed meat, like burgers, stakes, sausages, or hotdogs
  • Sodas and other sugary drinks

Eliminating these foods from your diet can protect you against eczema and help clear your skin. But it is best to speak with your healthcare professional before you make any drastic diet change. Your doctor or dietician may prepare a suitable diet for you or try to clear your skin without eliminating any essential nutrients [1] from your diet.
