Frequent Weird Reactions On The Skin, Redness And Itchiness On Skin. Is It Allergy?
I d like to know the symptoms of an allergy . I m not sure if I have an allergy. I sometimes get weird reactions to my skin, but I ve been told by relatives that it s me growing up. It doesn t really look like acne , it s just that my skin reddens and I tend to be itchy a lot. I haven t exactly been informed of having an allergy, I haven t informed this to any specialist. So I was wondering, could this be an allergy? Should I see a doctor immediately?

thank u for enquery
most probably it is urticarial rash as per ur history
one point is very much important here
that does this happen previously??? or it occurs just now????
is it a/w any seasonal variation??????
is it a/w some other symptoms like rhinorrhea, watering from eyes or coughing????
if it happens for the first time its most probably urtcaria
if its diagnosis then for one life threatening event u have to always be aware of
that is laryngeal edema that may accompany urticaria in its generalised from
its a serious condn then ...u need to take doctors consultation then...need to take antihistaminics immediately
otherwise urticaria is not much troublesome
sometimes when trigger disappears the symptoms improves automaticallly
u need to take anti-histaminic as needed basis
u should have an skin allergy test done
there is immunotherapy which can be used as a good resort
do consult an allergiologist or skin specialist
