The claimed link between IgG food sensitivity tests and skin conditions like eczema or atopic dermatitis is not supported by evidence. IgG antibodies to foods are a normal physiological response to dietary exposure and do not indicate intolerance or allergy. Major allergy guidelines (EAACI, AAAAI, DGAKI) explicitly recommend against using IgG tests for diagnosing food-related skin issues. In children with eczema, such tests can lead to unnecessary dietary restrictions, nutritional deficiencies, and parental anxiety without clinical benefit. The 'IgG–skin' connection is largely a marketing construct, not a validated medical pathway. Evidence: practice (guidelines). Caveat: No proven utility; always consult a dermatologist or allergist before altering diet based on IgG results.
