Allergy Treatment

Understanding Skin Allergies

Skin allergies are reactions that occur when the immune system responds abnormally to substances that are generally harmless to most people. These reactions can result in various symptoms such as itching, redness, swelling, and rashes. Common allergens include pollen, pet dander, certain foods, medications, insect stings, and contact with irritants like chemicals or specific fabrics.

Symptoms of Skin Allergies

• Redness: Inflamed, red patches on the skin.
• Itching: Persistent and sometimes severe itching.
• Rashes: Raised, bumpy, or scaly rashes.
• Swelling: Swelling around the affected areas.
• Dry Skin: Patches of dry, flaky skin.
• Blisters: Small, fluid-filled blisters in severe cases.

Common Types of Skin Allergies

• Contact Dermatitis: Reaction to direct contact with allergens or irritants.
• Eczema (Atopic Dermatitis): Chronic condition characterized by itchy, inflamed skin.
• Hives (Urticaria): Red, itchy welts that can vary in size and appear anywhere on the body.
• Angioedema: Deeper swelling often occurring around the eyes and lips.
• Allergic Reactions: To foods, medications, or insect stings that can cause widespread symptoms.
