Dietary modifications are frequently considered in atopic eczema management, especially in pediatric populations where food allergies may contribute to flaring. While the relationship between diet and eczema is complex, it is essential to assess each patient's dietary history and perform appropriate allergy testing, if warranted.

Patients should be made aware that elimination diets can lead to significant dietary deficiencies if not managed correctly. When allergies are identified, collaboration with a nutritionist or dietitian can yield a balanced diet while managing eczema effectively.
