Skin allergies can cause itching, redness, swelling, rashes, dryness, or irritation. They may develop after contact with certain cosmetics, skincare products, metals, medicines, plants, or other substances. Some allergic skin reactions can also occur alongside other allergy-related conditions.

Identifying and avoiding the trigger is an important part of managing recurring skin allergies. However, the cause is not always obvious, and similar symptoms can occur with infections or other skin conditions. A dermatologist can assess the symptoms and recommend suitable treatment or further testing when needed.

Seek prompt medical attention if a skin reaction is widespread, rapidly worsening, or associated with facial swelling or breathing difficulty.
