Allergic skin diseases are skin diseases caused by allergens. Specific allergens can be divided into four categories: contact allergens, inhaled allergens, ingested allergens and injected allergens. Each type of allergen can cause corresponding allergic skin diseases, the main manifestations of which are various dermatitis, eczema, and urticaria.

Urticaria

Commonly known as urticaria, it is a common skin disease. Urticaria can be divided into acute and chronic types.

Acute urticaria usually starts with itching of the skin all over the body, followed by the appearance of wheals of varying sizes that are bright red or pale. This type of wheal often occurs suddenly, disappears within a few minutes to a few hours or a dozen hours, leaves no trace, and can recur several times a day. Some patients experience abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting; some patients also have fevers of varying degrees; in severe cases, they may experience shortness of breath, wheezing, difficulty breathing, and even shock symptoms such as pale complexion and low blood pressure. Acute urticaria will stop after a few days to 1-2 weeks.

Chronic urticaria generally does not cause fever, nausea, vomiting, or asthma, but only skin wheals and itching, and the course of the disease can last for several months or even years.

The causes of urticaria are many and complex. There are fish, shrimp, crabs, animal feathers, pollen, mushrooms, nettles, medicines, sunlight, bacteria, parasites, etc. In daily life, people come into contact with too many objects and eat too many foods, making it difficult to identify the cause of the disease, which causes some people to suffer from measles repeatedly.

This disease can be treated with antihistamines such as diphenhydramine, chlorpheniramine, and cyproheptadine. If the systemic symptoms are severe, prednisone and dexamethasone can be used. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment effect is also very good, such as 15 grams each of white ringworm peel, Kochia scoparia, cicada shell, and Lycopodiella cicada, decocted in water and taken orally.

eczema

Eczema is a common allergic skin disease which can be divided into acute and chronic types. It can occur in any part of the body, but is more common on the face, head, around the ears, calves, armpits, elbows, scrotum, vulva and around the anus. The cause of the disease is unclear, and allergic constitution may be the main cause of the disease.

Acute eczema is often distributed in different areas, and the rash has various forms, such as erythema, papules, blisters, erosions, exudate and crusting. The itching is severe and scratching may cause infection. The course of the disease is about 2-3 weeks, but it can easily become chronic and recur.

Chronic eczema is more common on the limbs. The symptoms include thickening and roughening of the skin, which may present as lichenification, desquamation, pigmentation, and severe itching. It often develops acutely and can last for months to years.

Acute eczema

When redness and swelling are obvious or there is a lot of exudate, 3￣4% boric acid solution or 5% aluminum acetate solution can be used for wet compresses. For erythema, papules or blisters, apply calamine lotion or vibrating lotion. Chronic eczema can be treated with 3￣5% bran oil ointment. When the oral administration range is small and there is no exudation, dexamethasone cream or Fu Qingsong ointment can be applied externally. Oral medications include diphenhydramine, phenagar, cyproheptadine, etc. Traditional Chinese medicine also has a certain effect in treating eczema.

Allergic skin diseases are also called allergic skin diseases. It is the most common and also the most complicated skin disease. Common means that there are many causes and it can occur in people of all ages. Complex means that there are many causes and many unknown factors. Allergic reactions are generally divided into four types, among which immediate and delayed types are the causes of allergic skin diseases. Some cases of urticaria and drug rash are immediate, while eczema and contact allergic dermatitis are delayed.
