Patients with skin allergies are generally advised not to eat lamb. Lamb is considered very warm and sweet in nature. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), it is said to nourish the kidneys, strengthen yang, dispel wind and cold, and benefit qi and blood. It is categorized in TCM as a warming and drying food that promotes yang, and is considered a trigger food. It can often induce or exacerbate skin diseases. Therefore, in clinical practice, we generally do not recommend lamb to patients with skin allergies. If it is necessary to consume, it should be eaten minimally.
