Skin Rashes After Drinking Alcohol. History Of Allergies To Nuts. Treatment For Rashes?

Hello, I am a 16 year old girl who has severe allergies to nuts and have done for about 4 years now. As I have been getting older my allergies have increased to more things and I recently about a month ago went on a big night out and ever since that night I have been reacting and been generally unwell. I feel as if the alcohol is out of my system now but everytime I go to bed a rash appears on my skin? is it my bedding? Im so confused

Hey there shannon. Dont be stressed out as regds to the rash but i may advise against alcohol in general & certainly abstain from binging at your age especially with your history of allergy. Cross-linkage between various food items is not uncommon & it all depends on What alcohol you consumed (what was it derived from). You may want to consider taking an antihistamine 1-2 hr prior to bedtime & drink lots of water for a week or so. You should be fine. Stress will aggravate these episodes so relax. If it persists after a week, please do consult your local dermatologist or if its an issue, photograph your skin lesions, upload them onto this site & consult me directly on the paid section..hope the advice was worth your while & get better soon.
