Additionally, they can induce or worsen skin allergies, sores, or swellings.
2. Seafood such as hairtail, yellow croaker, pomfret, clams, shrimp, and crabs. These foods are generally salty, cold, and pungent. For those with allergic constitutions, they can trigger allergic skin conditions like asthma and hives, while also promoting skin diseases like boils and abscesses.
