Common Allergic Reaction Skin Conditions
The following skin conditions are commonly caused by exposure to allergens:
- Hives – These sores will occur on the outside of the skin and can burn, itch, and sting. Food and drug allergies are often the source of hives. Some cases will last for years with constant flare-ups.
- Angioedema – This condition is caused by swelling that occurs below the skin. Eyes, tongue, lips, and extremities may be affected. Food and drugs are the most likely source; however, the condition may be caused by infections from viruses and bacteria.
- Contact Dermatitis – Caused by direct skin contact with certain substances. Common irritants include nickel, perfumes, latex, and some cosmetics.
- Eczema – This condition leads to silvery scales on the skin. It can be caused by drug and food allergies.
Allergists or other medical professionals should recognize and treat these conditions effectively. If they fail to do so, they may cause extended pain and suffering.
