Skin allergies are nasty. They leave itchy, red patches on your skin, and you will probably experience breathing difficulties. Worst of all, you’ll end up in the hospital because of anaphylaxis. Luckily, for some, it just goes away when they age. But if yours doesn’t, here are some ways and remedies to relieve your skin allergies:
Cool Compress
Get some ice cubes from the fridge and wrap them up in a small bath towel if there are no ice bags available, and then place it on the affected areas. This will help reduce the skin’s itchiness and inflammation.
Oatmeal Baths
Make “colloidal oatmeal” by blending dry oatmeal until it turns into fine powder. Mix it in the bath water, and soak yourself into it. You will notice how it helps soothe and moisturise your inflamed skin.
Use Creams and Lotions
Use not just ordinary creams, but hydrocortisone creams. But you’ll need a doctor’s prescription first to know the right kind of hydrocortisone cream to use. As for the lotions, use a calamine lotion instead of a regular body lotion.
Wear Loose Clothes
Slim fit clothes can further irritate your inflamed skin because these clothes rub against the skin. It’s best to use baggy pants and shirts instead to avoid soreness and discomfort.
Antihistamine Meds
You can stop immediately an allergic reaction if you were to drink an antihistamine right away. However, you should first consult a doctor about it to know what is the most suitable antihistamine meds for your allergies.
Moisturise
If you are suffering from allergic eczema, you should always make sure your skin is moisturised. This is because the moisturiser will act as a barrier to the skin to avoid infections and inflammation.
