Dr. David Rosenthal answered

Specializes in Allergy and Immunology

Not really: If you have an allergic reaction which has lasted for a period of time, and you have changes in your skin as a result, you should see a physician to evaluate the cause and to pursue treatment. It may not be an allergic reaction.
