Psoriasis patients can generally consume eggs as they are a good source of protein.
Whether the psoriasis is in an active phase, regressing, or stable, eggs can be included in the diet. In fact, psoriasis patients often experience significant scaling, which can lead to protein loss and, in some cases, even hypoproteinemia. Therefore, eating eggs can help replenish protein levels.
However, if the patient shows signs of inflammation, such as during an active psoriasis flare-up, it's advisable to avoid fried eggs. This recommendation isn't about the eggs themselves but rather about the frying process.
So, when considering whether to eat eggs, the primary factor to assess is whether the patient has any inflammatory symptoms.
