Can patients with eczema eat pig's trotters?

Generally, patients with eczema can eat pig's trotters, but excessive consumption is not recommended. The detailed explanation is as follows:

Pig's trotters are rich in collagen and protein, which can provide nutritional support for skin repair and help maintain the skin’s barrier function, thus playing a supportive role in the recovery from eczema. When cooking, opt for light methods such as clear stewing or red-cooking, avoiding spicy or irritating seasonings, and reduce fat intake. This preserves the nutritional value while minimizing the risk of triggering or worsening eczema symptoms due to food irritation.

After eating pig's trotters, pay attention to any skin reactions; discontinue immediately if discomfort such as increased itching occurs. Maintain clean and well-moisturized skin daily, using gentle moisturizing products and avoiding excessive cleansing. Wear loose, breathable cotton clothing to minimize skin friction and irritation. Maintain a balanced diet with plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables to boost vitamin intake, and avoid known allergens and spicy foods. Follow a regular sleep schedule, avoid staying up late, and keep emotions stable to support eczema recovery.
