How to treat long-term skin allergies like redness and itchiness?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

You mentioned that you have had a skin allergy for the past ten years and had been on Cetirizine. You are also on Atarax, Bepotastine besylate, and Fluoxetine.

1) Can you describe the skin allergies that you have?

2) Does the redness and itchiness last for more than 24 hours, and does your skin return to normal once the allergy attack disappears?.

3) Do you have any history of food and drug allergies?

The term "skin allergies" may be atopic dermatitis, urticaria, or other diseases affecting the skin. They may have similar but not entirely the same form of treatment. The antihistamines you have been taking will help you, but it is important to know what causes it. The best way to treat an allergy is to avoid the cause. Even if you are taking antihistamines, but you get exposed to the trigger, the allergies will appear again. I would suggest you visit your allergist so you can identify the cause and you can be managed accordingly.

I hope this helps.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I suggest you avoid the allergens. Reaction one and two means that you are already sensitized to it and may develop clinical symptoms at any time. Avoidance is the best form of treatment. I suggest you take an antihistamine to improve the allergy (consult a specialist, talk with him or her, and take medications with their consent). I suggest you continue your current medications. If your allergy is not controlled, I suggest you take the tablet Loratadine 10 mg daily for two to four weeks. You can also try to maintain a food diary. List down all the foods you eat and mark the ones that cause the allergy. If your allergy is still uncontrolled, I suggest you consult an allergist or immunologist for a blood test to assess your immune system.
