A study from UCSF suggests that changes in daily salt intake can lead to eczema flares. The research found that consuming just one extra gram of sodium per day, equivalent to the sodium in a Big Mac, increased the likelihood of eczema flares by 22%. Eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, affects around 31 million Americans and has been linked to environmental and lifestyle factors like diet. It was found that dietary sodium, which is stored in the skin, may play a role in eczema inflammation. Limiting salt intake could be a simple way for eczema patients to manage their condition.
