Can I eat kelp if I have skin allergies?

Skin allergies are common in life. People with skin allergies should pay attention to understanding what the allergens are. In fact, kelp is not a seafood, so if you are allergic to seafood, you may not be allergic to kelp.

1. First of all , don’t confuse kelp and seafood. Kelp is plant food, and seafood is animal food.

2. Next , the allergic reaction after eating kelp is because kelp contains the allergens that cause your allergies (it may be a certain protein or some trace elements), and this kind of thing is not found in seafood, so you naturally will not have allergic reactions when eating seafood.

3. Finally , if you are allergic to kelp, don't eat it. Allergy is actually your immune system attacking your own body. It is not necessary to do this just for eating something.

4. Skin manifestations caused by skin allergies can generally be considered to be blood heat or excessive heat toxins, damp heat, etc. Kelp tastes salty and is cold in nature. It can lighten and disperse lumps, eliminate phlegm and promote diuresis. Indications: Eliminate phlegm and soften hard masses, relieve heat and promote diuresis, relieve cough and asthma, remove fat and lower blood pressure, disperse nodules and fight cancer. Used for goiter, scrofula, hernia, cough and asthma, edema, hypertension, coronary heart disease and obesity. Kelp is cold in nature, so it is okay to eat if you are generally allergic to it!

From the above introduction, we can understand that whether patients with skin allergies can eat kelp needs to be treated differently. If they are truly allergic to kelp or to some substances contained in kelp, then they must refuse to eat kelp. This is not just true for kelp, but you should pay attention before eating any food.
