What is a Skin Allergy?
A skin allergy occurs when your immune system overreacts to a substance that comes into contact with your skin, causing an allergic reaction. Common allergens include certain foods, medications, plants, chemicals, or materials like latex.
- Rashes: Red, itchy patches or bumps on the skin
- Hives: Raised, itchy welts that can vary in size
- Eczema: Dry, inflamed, and cracked skin
- Contact Dermatitis: Skin inflammation caused by direct contact with allergens
- Swelling: Puffiness or swelling in affected areas
Identifying Skin Allergies
The skin’s outer layer is supposed to act as a protective barrier, but in people with eczema, this barrier is often weakened or impaired. This dysfunction makes it easier for irritants, allergens, and microbes to penetrate the skin, leading to inflammation and irritation. Other symptoms include —
- Itching: The most common and often intense symptom.
- Red, inflamed skin: Typically appears on the face, behind the knees, or inside elbows.
- Dry, scaly patches: Skin can become rough and cracked.
- Blisters: Sometimes, eczema can cause small blisters that can weep and crust over.
- Thickened skin: Over time, constant scratching can cause the skin to thicken.
Environmental triggers can exacerbate eczema symptoms. These triggers include allergens such as pollen, pet dander, and dust mites, as well as irritants like harsh soaps, detergents, and certain fabrics. Changes in weather, particularly dry or cold conditions, can also aggravate the condition by further drying out the skin.
Pollen
Grass, tree, and weed pollens are common in Malaysia, leading to seasonal allergic rhinitis or hay fever.
Dustmites
Due to the tropical climate, dust mites thrive in homes, causing allergic rhinitis, asthma, and skin reactions.
Latex
Latex allergies occur when the body reacts to natural rubber products like gloves, balloons, or medical equipment, causing itching and rashes.
Metals
Metals like nickel, found in jewelry, coins, and zippers, can lead to red, itchy skin or blisters when in prolonged contact.
Chemicals
Exposure to harsh chemicals in cleaning products, cosmetics, or hair dyes can trigger allergic reactions, resulting in skin irritation, redness, or rashes.
Insects
Bites or stings from insects such as mosquitoes, or bees can cause allergic reactions, including hives, swelling, or, in severe cases, anaphylaxis.
Animal Dander
Allergies to pet hair or dander, especially from cats and dogs, can cause respiratory and skin reactions.
Food Allergies
Common food allergens in Malaysia include seafood (shellfish, prawns), peanuts, and certain fruits like bananas and mangoes.
Our Skin Allergy Treatments
Effective treatment for skin allergies often involves a combination of medications, lifestyle adjustments, and ongoing management strategies. Identifying and avoiding allergens, along with appropriate medical care, can significantly improve quality of life and reduce symptoms.
Oral Medication
This includes corticosteroids and antihistamines. The latter can help reduce itching and swelling by blocking histamine, a substance released during allergic reactions. Available over-the-counter or by prescription.
Topical Ointment
Topical corticosteroids, such as creams or ointments, reduce inflammation and swelling. Topical drugs can be used for conditions like eczema to modulate the immune response and reduce inflammation.
