Can ginkgo seeds cause allergic reactions on the face?
Disease description:
I heard from a friend that eating ginkgo nuts can improve skin condition quite well. Could ginkgo nuts potentially cause facial allergies?
Ginkgo nuts can indeed potentially cause allergic reactions on the face. Ginkgo nuts contain a large amount of organic acids, which may trigger allergic symptoms such as redness, itching, and swelling upon contact with the skin, often accompanied by rashes. This type of allergic reaction mainly results from individual sensitivity to certain components present in ginkgo nuts. Therefore, if allergic symptoms occur after contact with or consumption of ginkgo nuts, usage should be immediately discontinued, and appropriate anti-allergy measures should be taken, such as oral administration of antihistamines, application of topical ointments, or cold compresses, to alleviate the allergic reaction. If symptoms are severe or persist, prompt medical attention should be sought.
