Allergic Rashes: There are different types of rashes seen with allergic reactions. There are rashes from contact to an allergan. These can range from just a few small bumps in the area of contact, such as being allergic to nickel in a ring. Another contact allergy poison ivy can progressively spread. Food allergies may start with hives but can quickly progress to dangerous swelling of lips, throat for some.
