It can be consumed in moderation, but individual reactions should be observed. Soy sauce itself is not a direct trigger for urticaria, but some patients may experience discomfort due to its ingredients. It is recommended to try small amounts during periods of stable condition and keep a dietary record.
The following points should be noted:
1. Regular soy sauce: Most patients experience no adverse effects after consuming it, but soy sauce contains small amounts of histamine or fermentation products, which may worsen itching in sensitive individuals.
2. Soy sauce with added special ingredients: such as soy sauce containing oyster sauce, chili, etc. These additional ingredients may be irritants. It is recommended to choose products with simple ingredients.
3. During an acute attack: If the rash is significantly red and swollen, temporarily avoid seasonings such as soy sauce, prioritize a light diet, and reduce skin irritation.
It is recommended to check the ingredient list before daily consumption to avoid additives that may cause allergies, such as alcohol and preservatives. When trying it for the first time, apply a small amount and observe the skin reaction for 24 hours. If no new hives appear, you can use it normally. At the same time, pay attention to a balanced diet and avoid consuming common allergens such as seafood and alcohol at the same time. If you are unsure of your allergen, consult a doctor for food screening.
