SKIN ALLERGY

Irritated skin can be caused by a variety of factors. These include immune system disorders, medications and infections. When an allergen is responsible for triggering an immune system response, then it is an allergic skin condition.

Q1 What Are Common Skin Allergies?
Bumps, itching, redness and other skin conditions are very common, and their cause may not be easily identifiable. Rashes can be caused by many things, including plants (poison ivy, for example), allergic reactions to a medication or a food, or an illness (measles or chickenpox, for example). Eczema and hives, both of which are related to allergies, are two of the most common skin rashes.

Atopic dermatitis

Atopic dermatitis is the most common form of eczema, affecting between 10 and 20 percent of children and 1 to 3 percent of adults. A common symptom of atopic dermatitis is dry, red, irritated and itchy skin. Sometimes, especially when infected, the skin may have small, fluid-filled bumps that ooze a clear or yellowish liquid. People with atopic dermatitis often have a family history of allergies.

Hives

Hives (urticaria) are red bumps or welts that appear on the body. The condition is called acute urticaria if it lasts for no more than six weeks, and chronic urticaria if it persists beyond six weeks. Acute urticaria is most commonly caused by exposure to an allergen or by an infection. The cause of chronic urticaria is largely unknown.

Contact dermatitis

Contact dermatitis is a reaction that appears when the skin comes in contact with an irritant or an allergen. Symptoms can include a rash, blisters, itching and burning.

Soaps, laundry detergents, fabric softeners, shampoos — or even excessive exposure to water — can all cause contact dermatitis. Other items that can cause a reaction are metals (such as nickel, a component of stainless steel and other alloys used to make costume jewelry), adhesives, nail polish, topical medications, plants and latex gloves.

Sometimes an allergen won’t cause a skin reaction unless the skin is also exposed to sunlight. This condition is called photo allergic contact dermatitis. It can occur with products such as shaving lotion, sunscreen and some perfumes.

Latex allergy

Latex allergy usually develops after repeated exposure to latex products, including balloons or medical gloves. Symptoms may include hives, itching or a stuffy or runny nose. Some people may experience asthma symptoms, such as wheezing, chest tightness and difficulty breathing.

Allergic reactions to latex are less common now, since many hospitals and health care workers have switched to non-latex gloves or low-protein latex gloves.

Q2 Are Skin Allergy Specific To Different Age Group?

          No age group specific to allergies.

Q3 What Are Causes Of The Allergies?

Causes of Skin Allergies-

It takes at least 10 days to become sensitive to something after your first contact with it. You might even be able to touch something for years before you have an allergic reaction to it.

But once you develop an allergy, you could have a reaction within a few minutes of coming into contact with it. Or it might take a day or two.

The most common causes of skin allergies include:

·         Nickel, a metal used in jewelry and snaps on jeans, makeup, lotions, soaps, and shampoos

·         Sunscreens and bug sprays

·         Medications you put on your skin, like antibiotics or anti-itch creams

·         Fragrances

·         Cleaning products

·         Plants, including poison ivy

·         Latex, which is used in stretchy things like plastic gloves, elastic in clothing, condoms, and balloons

·         Chemicals

You're more likely to have certain skin allergies if you a have skin condition like eczema ( atopic dermatitis),Inflammation in your lower legs because of poor circulation, itching in your private parts, or you often get swimmer's ear.

Q4 What Are The Symptom?

Symptoms of an allergic reaction usually develop within a few minutes of being exposed to something you're allergic to, although occasionally they can develop gradually over a few hours.

Although allergic reactions can be a nuisance and hamper your normal activities, most are mild. Very occasionally, a severe reaction called anaphylaxis can occur.

Common symptoms of an allergic reaction include:

Sneezing and an itchy, runny or blocked nose

itchy, red, watering eyes

• a raised, itchy, red rash (hives)
• swollen lips, tongue, eyes or face
• tummy pain, feeling sick,vomiting ordiarrhoea
• dry, red and cracked skin

The symptoms vary depending on what you're allergic to and how you come into contact with it. For example,  develop a rash if you have a skin allergy, or feel sick if you eat something you're allergic to..

Severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis)

In rare cases, an allergy can lead to a severe allergic reaction, called anaphylaxis or anaphylactic shock, which can be life-threatening.

This affects the whole body and usually develops within minutes of exposure to something you're allergic to.

Signs of anaphylaxis include any of the symptoms above, as well as:

• swelling of the throat and mouth
• difficulty breathing
• lightheadedness
• Confusion
• blue skin or lips
• collapsing and losing consciousness

Anaphylaxis is a medical emergency that requires immediate treatment. Read more about anaphylaxis for information about what to do if it occurs.

When To See Your Doctor About Rashes

Go to the hospital immediately if you experience a rash along with any of the following symptoms:

·         increasing pain or discoloration in the rash area

·         tightness or itchiness in the throat

·         difficulty breathing

·         swelling of the face or extremities

·         fever of 100.4°F or higher

·         confusion

·         dizziness

·         severe head or neck pain

·         repeated vomiting or diarrhea

 other systemic symptoms including:

joint pain

·         a sore throat

·         a fever slightly above 100.4°F

·         red streaks or tender areas near the rash

·         a recent tick bite or animal bite

Q5 What Kind Of Medication Can Take Up If Affected By Skin Allergy ?

Allergy medications are available as pills, liquids, inhalers, nasal sprays, eyedrops, skin creams and shots (injections).

Antihistamines

Antihistamines block histamine, a symptom-causing chemical released by your immune system during an allergic reaction.

Pills and liquids

Oral antihistamines, available as over-the-counter and prescription drugs, ease runny nose, itchy or watery eyes, hives, swelling, and other signs or symptoms of allergies. Because some of these drugs can cause drowsiness and fatigue, they shouldn't be taken when driving or doing other potentially dangerous activities.

Antihistamines that tend to cause drowsiness include:

·         Diphenhydramine (Benadryl)

·         Chlorpheniramine

Skin creams

Corticosteroid creams relieve allergic skin reactions such as itching, redness, scaling or other irritations. Some low-potency corticosteroid creams are available without a prescription..

Side effects can include skin discoloration and irritation. Long-term use, especially of stronger prescription corticosteroids, can cause thinning of the skin and disruption of normal hormone levels. Examples include:

·         Betamethasone (Dermabet, Diprolene, others)

·         Desonide (Desonate, DesOwen)

·         Hydrocortisone (Cortaid, MiCort-HC, others)

Q6 Are There Any Precaution For Skin Allergy?

Several precautions to consider include:

•Maintain an allergen free environment at home
•Focus on your bedroom: keep your pets out, eliminate the rug because it collects dust and avoid feather pillows
•Make sure the fireplace is well-ventilated and be careful of any leakage
•Keep basement and bathroom dry to avoid mold growing in these damp areas of the house
