What is Skin Allergy and What are its type ???
In today’s world which is full of stress and contaminations, skin and other allergies have evolved as lifestyle disorders. One can be allergic to certain substances by birth or develop them over a period of years. Some common allergens include foods, cosmetics, fragrances, plantations, sunlight, and dust.
Allergies are common in all age groups. It is a response of one’s own body immune system to agents like dust, metal, fiber, chemical, pollen grains. These agents have also known as allergens are not harmful, occur freely in the environment and do not bother most people they come in contact with. People who have allergies often are sensitive to more than one allergen. When an allergen comes in contact with an individual with allergy, it triggers an allergic or hypersensitive reaction. Heredity and environmental exposures contribute to susceptibility of an individual to allergies.
At Neelkanth Hospital, we offer a thorough consultation and allergy testing for patients suffering from skin allergies to known and unknown allergens and a treatment protocol suitable for patient’s needs.
Atopic Dermatitis (Eczema)
Atopic dermatitis, more commonly known as eczema, frequently occurs in young children, although it may start in young adults, and can continue into adult life. The rash of atopic dermatitis, often called eczema, occurs where a person scratches. In infancy, the rash occurs on the chest, cheeks, and scalp, where the child is able to scratch. Older children and adult typically have the rash in the skin folds of the elbows and behind the knees, although may also occur on the face, neck, hands, feet, and back.
Urticaria (Hives) and Angioedema (Swelling)
Urticaria, commonly referred to as hives, is an itchy rash that can occur at any age. This rash appears as raised red bumps of various shapes and sizes and typically lasts for only minutes to hours. While it can be very itchy, a person will generally not excoriate (scratch to the point of breaking the skin and cause bleeding) themselves.

Allergy from Cosmetic Products
Cosmetics are substances applied to the surface of the skin (moisturizers and makeup), hair (shampoos and conditioners), or nails (polish and lacquer) designed to temporarily alter one’s appearance. Cosmetics do not biologically alter the structure or function of the skin, hair, or nails. They are often a complex mixture of perfumes, emulsifiers, sunscreens, pigments, metals, resins, and preservatives, as well as a variety of inert materials.
Cosmetics may irritate the skin directly (by far the most common type of reaction) or induce an immune-mediated allergic response. Usually, irritation would occur the first time a cosmetic is applied, as opposed to an allergic reaction that would require repeated exposures. Some individuals have extremely sensitive skin that seems to be intolerant to most cosmetics. Individuals with rosacea seem to be intolerant to many cosmetics and makeup brands.
Preventing Cosmetic Allergy
These are a few measures that can help in preventing cosmetic allergy.
• Always read the label first. Some active ingredients can trigger allergic reactions to your skin. Find products that are safer.
• If a tester is available, you should perform a mini-patch test to determine whether it causes unfavorable reactions on your skin. Rub your wrist with a few different products; wait for 24 hours to see whether redness appears on the tested area. If you get no allergic reaction, you can return to the store and buy the product.
• Choose a cosmetic with the simplest formula and fewest ingredients.
• When using perfume, apply it on your clothes, instead of your skin.
There’s no harm in making necessary precautions, prevention is often easier than treating the symptoms of cosmetic allergy. Remember that, like any other allergy, cosmetic allergy is incurable, it is only treatable.
Symptoms of Cosmetic Allergy
These are two common skin reactions caused by cosmetic allergy:
• Allergic contact dermatitis. It happens when the area of the skin develops blisters, skin patches or rash, which is very itchy. Sufferers often scratch the area, which can aggravate the condition and cause oozing.
• Irritant contact dermatitis. The symptoms are usually milder, with hives that break out on the neck and facial area. However, in some cases, it can occur in other areas as well.
It may seem strange that our body develops an allergy to cosmetics that you’ve been using for years. It happens because our body can develop higher sensitivity to certain ingredients over time. Once a specific sensitivity level is reached, the allergic response occurs and the reaction can get worse if you continue to use the product.
