Skin allergy occurs when your skin reacts to a substance, causing symptoms like redness, itching, swelling, or rash.
⚕️ What Skin Allergy Means
It is an immune response triggered by allergens such as certain soaps, detergents, or plants. You might notice irritation or hives on the affected skin area shortly after contact.
🏥 Self-Care and Management
- Avoid the identified allergen or irritant.
- Use gentle, fragrance-free soaps and moisturizers to reduce irritation.
- Over-the-counter topical creams may help relieve itching and inflammation.
🩺 When to See a Doctor
If the skin allergy worsens, covers large areas, or is accompanied by fever or difficulty breathing, consult a dermatologist promptly for proper diagnosis and treatment.
