Skin allergies take many forms, from contact dermatitis caused by a product or material to urticaria (hives) that may come and go. A careful history and examination help identify likely triggers and the right treatment.
Seek emergency care immediately if a rash comes with difficulty breathing, swelling of the tongue or throat, or feeling faint.
Common signs
- Raised, itchy wheals (hives)
- Rashes after contact with a product or material
- Swelling of lips or eyelids
- Symptoms that come and go
When to see a dermatologist
