The causes of bumps, itching, redness, and other skin disorders may not always be obvious. If you’re uncertain if your symptoms are cause by allergy rash, see a board-certified allergist.
Overview
Skin that is red, bumpy, and itching may be upsetting, uncomfortable, and unsightly. Numerous factors, including contact with certain plants (such as poison ivy), allergies to drugs or foods, and other factors, may result in allergy rash. A disease like measles or chickenpox may also result in rashes. Two of the most prevalent kinds of skin rashes are eczema and hives, both of which are brought on by allergies. An allergist can identify and treat your issue if your skin disease is brought on by an allergy rash so you may enjoy life to the fullest.
Eczema
One to three percent of adults and between 10 and 20 percent of children suffer with eczema, commonly known as atopic dermatitis. Skin that is dry, red, inflamed, and itching is a typical eczema symptom. The skin may sometimes contain tiny fluid-filled pimples that drip a clear or yellowish substance, particularly when it’s diseased. Eczema patients often have a history of allergies in their families.
Hives
On the body, hives (urticaria) manifest as red lumps or welts. If the illness continues for more than six weeks, it is refer to as chronic urticaria, and if it does not, acute urticaria. The most frequent causes of acute urticaria are exposure to an allergen or an illness. Chronic urticaria’s root cause is mainly unclear.
Contact Dermatitis
When the skin comes into touch with an allergen or irritant, a response known as contact dermatitis develops. There may be a rash, blisters, itching, burning, and other symptoms.
Contact dermatitis may be brought on by shampoos, fabric softeners, laundry detergents, fabric softeners, soaps, or even prolong exposure to water. Metals (including nickel, an ingredient in stainless steel and other alloys used to produce costume jewelry), adhesives, nail polish, topical treatments, plants, and latex gloves are other things that might set off an allergic response.
A cutaneous response to an allergen can not always occur unless the skin is also expose to sunlight. Photoallergic contact dermatitis is the medical term for this illness. Products like shaving cream, sunscreen, and certain fragrances may cause it.
