Question

How do I treat dry skin due to allergies?

Answer 1

You need to see your: doctor for treatment if you are pregnant, as many drugs can't be taken while pregnant. If not pregnant, you have more choices. Many skin allergies occur due to contact, environmental or dietary reasons. So the cause has to be found first, and then eliminated or put on hold until your skin clears up first. Work with your doctor on this. Once that's done, it's easy!

Answer 2

Yes: Maybe. If the fluid is thick, white, cheesy & quite small you might have molloscum contagiosum, a mild viral skin infection common in children who have eczema. If the bumps are large blisters filled with yellow fluid that itch intensely you might have contact dermatitis. A common cause of contact dermatitis is poison oak. Have an experienced physician take a look. A picture is worth a 1000 words.

Answer 3

Rash: Any rash needs to be looked at by a physician before giving out a diagnosis or a treatment. Don't make a five dollar bet with only three dollars in your pocket.....Get it looked at.

Answer 4

Skin allergies: Yes. Many persons develop allergic contact dermatitis to chemicals that they come in contact with such as nail polish, hair dye or the metal in jewelry or watches. The list is endless.

Answer 5

Skin Allergies: Many allergic reactions can show up on the skin.... This can be hives (urticaria) due to foods, medicines, detergents, or many other causes (water, heat, pressure...) it also can be a rash that occurs when your skin contacts a substance (watch band, jewelry, formaldehyde, etc). You can also have a skin reaction to a substance you touched (poison ivy). See an allergist to help you.

Answer 6

No: There are no skin allergies that are life threatening. Certainly, food allergies, which may also have hives, can be life threatening.

Answer 7

Depends: Soaps are useful in some forms or skin allergy, harmful in others & play no role in still others. With contact dermatitis due to poison oak or ivy washing exposed skin with soap & water immediately after exposure may limit absorption of plant allergens. Soap removes oils from the skin worsening eczema. Soap has no effect on hives. Hope that explanation helps.

Answer 8

Possibly: If you have sensitive skin, it's always a good idea to use gentle products (scent-free, dye-free) on your skin. This would include cleansers (dove for sensitive skin or cetaphil), and "free and clear" detergents.

Answer 15

Ignore: Chronic eczema patients often have bacterial/ viral/ fungal colonization of the skin. Keep it clean!
