Question 2

how can i overcome rashes from allergy?

Accepted Answer

Identify trigger: The best treatment for allergies including those that cause rashes it to identify the trigger.  An allergist and most conventional dermatologists can assist in testing to identify that trigger.  Other treatments can include various topical ointments or creams, but that will not solve the problem.

Showers: If you burn the skin it will. Warm showers are fine.

Question 5

i keep getting rashes on my body from zicam, does this mean i have an allergy?

Accepted Answer

Probably: If the rash itches, then it would more likely be from allergy.  Why use Zicam ?  It has really not been proven to be effective for anything

Question 6

i've been itchy nearly constantly for several months with no visible rashes or bites and no known allergies.  what can i do?

Accepted Answer

Dry skin?: Dry skin is the likely cause.  Avoid scented or anti-bacterial soap or gel, apply a good moisturizer immediately after bathing. See doctor if this is ineffective since there are many other potential causes (iron deficiency anemia is one among menstruating women).

Question 7

what do allergy tablets do to stop my rashes?

Accepted Answer

Decrease inflammatio: Allergy tablets, I am guessing, are referring to antihistamines such as zyrtec (cetirizine), Claritin (loratadine), or Allegra (fexofenadine) act by blocking histamine receptors, which are responsible for the inflammation, swelling, itching, and erythema associated with allergic rashes.

Question 8

how can i deal with moled allergy  rashes on my body?

Accepted Answer

See a doctor: You need to confirm that the ash is indeed due to mold.   Using a steroid cream on the skin will help if the rash is due to eczema, but this could disguise the real cause if it is not.

Question 9

skin rashes on face from a food allergy. what do i take for this?

Accepted Answer

Avoid the food: The best current treatment for food allergies is avoiding that particular food.  After avoidance, antihistamines can decrease itching associated with food allergies.  The use of steroid creams or ointments may help, but should be monitored by a physician. An allergist can assist in identifying the specific food trigger.

Question 10

where on the body do rashes caused by food allergies usually occur?

Accepted Answer

Varies: All over (urticaria / hives / itchy blotches), or in the creases of the elbows and knees (atopic dermatitis).  Dh from gluten senstivity symmetic, upper body. Some of the more mysterious skin diseases may also be caused by food hypersensitivity sometimes. Food allergy is best diagnosed by what happens to a person if they eat the stuff; it can be dangerous and needs respect.  Best wishes.
