ECZEMA
The eggs consumed by mothers in the MEC group were boiled whole eggs prepared by the nutrition department of each medical facility. The mothers in the MEC group consumed 1 cooked egg per day in addition to their normal breakfast from days 0 to 5, whereas those in the MEE group received a hospital diet that eliminated eggs from days 0 to 5.

After 1 month, both groups were instructed to perform skin care, and aggressive topical corticosteroid treatment was administered for eczema.
