My diet hasn't really changed lately.

I have noticed certain types of craft beer make me itch especially on my face and hands. Besides that I haven't noticed any other foods that cause this reaction.

As far as I know, I am okay. In fall 2021 my creatinine was .60 umol/L and my estimated GFR was 107.0 mL/min/1.73m*2. -- This skin condition started in summer 2019.

When the skin is very irritated urine stings it, but I don't think my urine is the cause of the skin reaction. The only other thing I can think of is the adhesive on feminine hygiene products. Band-Aids and most medical tapes irritate me. They cause red itchy patches.

I have dyshidrotic eczema on my hands. It first appeared last year and I blamed it on my old job. Something else is causing it because I still have it 3 months after leaving that workplace.
