Itchy skin, hives and rashes are among the most common reasons people see an allergist. 'Skin allergy' covers several conditions — including urticaria (hives), eczema and contact reactions.
Common Presentations
- Urticaria (hives) — raised, itchy welts that come and go
- Angioedema — deeper swelling of the lips or eyelids
- Eczema (atopic dermatitis) — dry, itchy, inflamed skin
- Contact reactions to something touching the skin
What Triggers It?
Triggers vary widely — foods, medicines, infections, insect bites, heat, pressure or contact allergens. Sometimes, especially in chronic hives, no single trigger is found, and the focus shifts to controlling symptoms well.
How We Diagnose It
A careful history guides testing. Skin prick tests, blood tests or patch tests may be used depending on the pattern, to identify triggers where possible.
How It's Treated
- Antihistamines and skin-directed treatments
- Identifying and avoiding confirmed triggers
- A step-up plan for chronic or severe hives
- Good skin-care routines for eczema
Whether it's a sudden bout of hives or long-standing itchy skin, we help calm the flare and find what's driving it.
