An Introduction to Allergic conditions
Allergic skin conditions result from the immune system’s abnormal reaction to various substances upon skin contact. These conditions can cause a wide range of symptoms, including itching, redness, rash, swelling and sometimes blistering. Common allergic skin conditions include contact dermatitis, atopic dermatitis (i.e. eczema), urticaria (hives), angioedema, allergic fungal rashes and pruritus (itching). The management of allergic skin conditions often involves identifying and avoiding triggers, using topical corticosteroids, antihistamines, moisturizers and other medications for alleviating symptoms. In cases of severe allergic reactions, prompt medical attention may be required. Raising awareness about these conditions, practising proper skin care and seeking medical advice for accurate diagnosis and treatment are crucial for effectively managing allergic skin conditions.
