Comprehensive Care for All Types of Skin Allergies
Skin allergies can cause significant discomfort and affect your quality of life. From contact dermatitis to food allergies manifesting on the skin, these conditions require expert diagnosis and treatment. At The Skin Sense Clinic, we provide comprehensive allergy testing and personalized treatment plans to help you find relief and prevent future reactions.
What are Skin Allergies?
Skin allergies occur when your immune system overreacts to substances that are normally harmless. This reaction can cause inflammation, redness, itching, swelling, and various skin lesions. Allergies can be triggered by environmental factors, foods, medications, or direct contact with allergens.
Common Types of Skin Allergies
Skin allergies include contact dermatitis (from soaps, metals, plants), atopic dermatitis (eczema), urticaria (hives), angioedema (swelling), drug allergies, food allergies, and seasonal allergies. These conditions can range from mild irritation to severe reactions requiring immediate medical attention. Symptoms typically include redness, itching, swelling, burning sensation, and sometimes blistering or scaling of the skin.
