The skin can react in different ways depending on the allergens to which the body is exposed, the way in which the exposure occurs and the age of the allergy sufferer. Considering such conditions, the most common skin allergies are the following
Atopic dermatitis: it is an inflammatory skin disease that occurs in people who are more likely to suffer allergies due to genetic predisposition. It is a long-term condition characterized by the appearance of itching and eczema and times of exacerbation and asymptomatic periods. This skin allergy usually occurs especially in children, but also in adults once puberty is over. In infants, the lesions are preferably located on the face, while after two years they are concentrated on the elbow and knee folds, as well as on the wrists and eyelids. In adults, the usual location of eczema is in the neck, wrists and feet.
In any case, hygienic measures and the choice of the most appropriate clothing can help prevent or reduce exacerbation moments: regularly moisturize the skin with oily creams, use acidic or neutral non-detergent soaps and without perfume, wear clothes Loosed preferably of cotton and, of course, avoid contact with the skin of irritants, such as paints, solvents, etc.
Contact dermatitis: arises in a timely manner before direct contact with allergen and manifests with intense itching, redness of the skin, peeling and appearance of small vesicles or scabs. Some of these skin allergies are so frequent that many cosmetic or hygiene products avoid the composition of the same components that can cause this type of reaction and are sold with the allergen label. Likewise, current legislation expressly prohibits the use of nickel in the manufacture of jewelry and costume jewelery because it is a highly allergenic metal. The best treatment is to avoid direct contact with the allergens, after having undergone epicutaneous tests or patch tests, which allow them to be identified.
Hives: It is a skin rash with the presence of hives or hives that produce an intense itching that causes great discomfort. This skin allergy may be due to an allergic reaction to certain foods, medications, parasites such as fish anisakis or bee stings and wasps. It is necessary to have the allergen identification tests, since in the event that episodes of this type increase the intensity of the symptoms, it may be the case that the patient may suffer an anaphylactic shock.
Angioedema: It is similar to hives and it is even common for both to occur simultaneously. It is also an inflammatory process, although deeper and usually appears on the eyelids and lips.
