Can eczema be linked to oat allergies?

Detailed answer

While oat allergies are not a common trigger for eczema, some individuals with eczema may experience flare-ups or allergic reactions to oats. Oats can be found in various skincare products, and if a person with eczema has an oat allergy, the exposure to oat-containing products may worsen their eczema symptoms. It is important to note that oat allergies are different from gluten allergies, as oats themselves are gluten-free, but may sometimes be processed in facilities that also process gluten-containing grains. If you suspect an oat allergy is exacerbating your eczema, it is recommended to consult with a dermatologist or allergist for proper evaluation and advice on avoiding oat-derived ingredients in your skincare routine.
