Food allergy and eczema
Peter Griffin
Atopic eczema is one of a group of inherited conditions that also includes asthma and hay fever. It results in the skin being dry, itchy, red, broken and sore. Eczema can affect people of all ages, but it usually starts in childhood, often improving with age.
Recent media reports have suggested that a diet high in saturated fatty acids and free from preservatives may be helpful for young children with eczema.
This has resulted in concern from nutrition and medical experts.
