About this listen

Eczema, or atopic dermatitis, is common, but it is rare that a food allergy causes atopic dermatitis. In this episode, CHOP allergist Katie Kennedy, MD, explains that only about 25% of children with severe atopic dermatitis have flares driven by foods. She also discusses the pitfalls of allergy testing, approaches to identifying food triggers, and when to refer to an allergist.

Dr. Kennedy talks about beef tallow and eczema, but for more information view Pediatric Health Chat. CHOP also has a Clinical Pathway for the Evaluation/Treatment of Children with Suspected Atopic Dermatitis.
