Patients with keloids should avoid eating foods that may trigger inflammation or affect wound healing.
Keloids are overgrown scar tissues whose formation is related to genetic factors, inflammatory responses following skin injury, and an individual's immune response. Certain foods may exacerbate inflammation, thus affecting the growth and healing process of keloids. For example, high-sugar foods and refined carbohydrates can promote inflammation, while high-fat foods, especially saturated and trans fats, are also thought to potentially promote inflammation. Some studies have indicated that histidine-rich foods (such as cheese and sausages) may affect the skin healing process under certain circumstances.
In their daily diet, patients with keloids should avoid high-sugar foods, refined carbohydrates, high-fat foods (especially saturated and trans fats), and foods rich in histidine. At the same time, maintaining a balanced diet and increasing the intake of fresh vegetables and fruits helps provide essential vitamins and minerals to support skin health and the healing process. Maintaining adequate water intake and avoiding excessive sun exposure also helps reduce the formation and worsening of keloids.
