Question 1

can i go to yellowstone national park if i have a sulfur allergy?

Accepted Answer

Yes: I believe you mean "sulfa allergy, " which will not prevent you from going to yellowstone.  Being allergic to sulfa drugs does not make you allergic to sulfur.

Question 2

i have an allergy to sulfur. would this allergy mean i am allergic to sodium laureth sulfate found in body wash?

Accepted Answer

Sulfa: Sulfa allergy is usually secondary to antibiotics such as bactrim (sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim). You did not describe your type of allergy but if assuming it is to an oral antibiotic, you should be ok with the body wash.

Question 3

if i have allergy to sulfa can take something that has msm sulfur in it?

Accepted Answer

Pharmacist: I have heard mixed recommendations about this and more often there is felt to be no problem as the sulphur in msm is not a sulfonamide. Your pharmacist is best qualified to answer this question for you.

Question 4

what is the best way to take collagen and the recommended dosage?  can patients with sulfur allergies take collagen?

Accepted Answer

Collagen: What would you want to take collagen for?  Any collagen that you eat will be digested by the stomach and intestines into its constituent amino acids so it can be absorbed. Collagen can be injected to fill wrinkles and fine lines on the face, but the commercial sources of collagen have stopped manufacturing it for these purposes.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

See below: Egg allergy causes itchiness, hives, lip or tongue swelling, shortness of breath, abd pain, nausea, vomiting, and in severe cases can lead to death. All suspected food allergies should be fully evaluated.

Question 6

i have allergy with shampoo my skin is getting as dots some of my skin gets black dots just i use sulfer soup that is less good what to do?

Accepted Answer

Avoid sulfa soap: First you need to change shampoo and in fact sulfa may cause intense local skin reactions if you are allergic to sulfa.   A topical cortisone will likely help but you will need to get a rx for it.   There may be other causes for your scalp problem especially if the lesions don't itch, .

Question 7

can i use the following topical: prosacea rosacea treatment gel, if i have a sulfa/bactrim allergy? sulfer is an ingerdient listed on the box, is that the same thing?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Avoid topical sulfa also. There are other creams or lotions not containing sulfa yet at least as effective. 
However sulfate or sulfite are not the same and needs not be avoided.

Question 8

i have a allergy on my face (heat rash) . i usually get this in the summer season. and my skin gets itchy and hot. 
i am allergic to sulphur and penicillin.
what should i get that can help please?

Accepted Answer

Rash: These lesions would likely need to be examined and more history obtained to be able to provide you with useful input about the diagnosis or possible treatment.

Question 9

could a nickel sulfate hexahydrate allergy identified through a patch test trigger a mast cell response?  could a low nickel diet be helpful?

Accepted Answer

Clarification: Nickel allergy is identified by a patch test.  This test looks for a delayed type hypersensitivity reaction, which can be mediated by serval cells (mast cells being one of them).  This type of contact allergy is effected by topical (skin) contact, not ingestion of a food or a specific diet.

Question 10

Accepted Answer
