Salt intake and skin sodium in inflammatory skin disease
Part of Genetic & congenital, Immune system & allergy, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests how salt in your diet affects sodium levels in your skin and its link to inflammatory skin conditions like eczema. It may help explain why some people's skin flares up after eating salty foods.
