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.
