<s>[INST] Hello doctor,I always have dry, sensitive, and irritated skin. My entire life, I have been severely allergic to all nuts and tree nuts. I also have a small allergy to coconut. I notice that all of the skincare products and shampoos I have contains Cocamidopropyl betaine or coco-glucoside in them, which are derived from coconut. Should I discontinue using these products? [/INST] Hello. Allergies are the condition in which your immune system becomes hypersensitive to foreign particles or substances like pollens, dust particles, mites, pet dander, some foods, and medicines, etc. Your immune system is a protective barrier to allergens, which causes harmful effects to your body. So you should be aware of this and try to know elaborately about those factors or allergens which causes itching, trouble, irritation, and red patches, etc. In this situation, you should avoid or protect yourself from those allergens which aggravate the symptoms mentioned above. As well as there is a need to improve your immunity. To do this, you should take Haridrakhand 3 gm with warm milk before the meal and do regular pranayamas like Anuloma Viloma, Nadi Shodhana, and Bhramari. </s>
