Foods that contain the amino acid arginine may cause the herpes virus to act up. Here are things to know about arginine and how you can see if it’s the cause of your skin condition.

As a young child, I had a lot of skin sensitivities and allergies. It seemed like even the gentlest of lotions and detergents still caused a rash. My parents never could find a resolution, and as a young adult, I went to the local dermatologist to find out what could be done. I was amazed to learn that such sensitive skin was actually pretty common, but most people don't know how to care for it. I created this blog to show others what I've learned both from my dermatologist and from my own experimentation. If you have severely sensitive skin, I hope this information helps you get it under control or at least minimize the skin reactions.
