Skin itching generally means that you should not eat fish and eggs. There are many reasons for skin itching, which are usually related to dry climate, humid air, excessive stress, and autoimmune diseases. Furthermore, consuming foods that are likely to cause allergies, such as beef, mutton, seafood, fish, shrimp, crab, etc., are also related. Therefore, when experiencing skin itching, you should try to have a light diet, eat plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins, drink more water, avoid spicy and irritant foods, abstain from alcohol, and avoid eating chili peppers, etc. Egg juice contains heterologous proteins, and the strong smell of fish can also exacerbate allergy symptoms, so it is not recommended to eat certain types of fish or seafood. If you experience skin itching, it is advisable to visit the dermatology department of a local reputable hospital for diagnosis and treatment.

Characteristics of skin itching caused by tumors

Skin itching caused by tumors is generally stubborn and persistent, but there are no visible symptoms on the surface of the skin. This is because the biological factors released by tumor cells stimulate the surrounding nerves, leading to itching. For example, malignant lymphomas, cancers of the external genitalia, and cancers in female patients all exhibit itching during their progression. Beyond skin itching, some patients may experience varying degrees of skin damage, including the appearance of erythema, blisters, or erosion. If these areas become infected, they can lead to skin breakdown and exudation. In addition to these symptoms, some patients may also experience skin thickening and scaling, as well as itching of the nose, anus, and genitals. There are many types of tumors that can cause itching, such as tumors on the forehead, rectum, colon, vagina, cervix, prostate, etc. Therefore, if a patient experiences symptoms of skin itching, it is crucial to maintain proper skin cleanliness promptly.

Can I eat grapes if I have itchy skin?

Eating grapes is generally acceptable for skin itchiness. Grapes have a neutral nature and a sweet-sour taste. They are rich in glucose and fruit acids, and contain potassium, iron, phosphorus, calcium, and other trace elements as well as an abundance of vitamins. Traditional Chinese Medicine states that grapes have effects such as replenishing qi and blood, strengthening muscles and bones, generating seminal fluid, enhancing spleen and appetite, and promoting diuresis and reducing swelling. Clinically, there are very few cases of grape consumption causing allergic skin itchiness.

Can alcohol intoxication cause skin itching?

Alcohol intoxication does not cause itching. However, patients who are allergic to alcohol may experience itching, rashes, and other symptoms. Alcohol intoxication usually occurs when drinking excessively, surpassing the body's metabolic capacity and leading to intoxication. Symptoms include restlessness, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, and severe cases may lead to consciousness disorders. In cases of alcohol intoxication, inducing vomiting can be a method to alleviate the condition. This can be done by using a finger or a tongue depressor to stimulate the pharynx, causing vomiting to expel stomach contents and reduce alcohol absorption. It is advisable not to drink excessively, drink plenty of water, eat fresh vegetables and fruits, and it is best to abstain from alcohol for the benefit of your health.

How to treat high blood sugar and itchy skin?

Skin itching caused by high blood sugar requires a clear understanding of the cause of the itching. On one hand, it is mainly associated with elevated blood sugar levels, and on the other hand, it may be related to peripheral neuropathy caused by diabetes. A third consideration is secondary fungal or bacterial skin infections caused by high blood sugar. For these conditions, the first step is to test blood sugar levels. If a significant increase in blood sugar is found, it is important to adjust the existing sugar-lowering plan promptly to bring blood sugar levels within an ideal range. At the same time, medications that nourish the nerves, including cobamamide and vitamin B2, can be taken. For patients with secondary skin infections, appropriate antibacterial or antifungal ointments may be given. It is also important to maintain skin cleanliness and avoid eating spicy and irritating foods. (The use of medications should be under the guidance of a physician.)
