#Skin Allergy
Today my topic is on #SkinAllergy #Allergy #Itchy skin #Skin problem. Most of the peoples are worrying about this I will try to give solutions. Skin Allergy Most of us have bumpy, itchy, scaly, or red skin at some point in our lives. One of the most common culprits? A skin allergy. That’s when you encounter something your body thinks is dangerous, called an allergen. Your immune system overreacts, and releases antibodies to fight off these “invaders.” That fight triggers symptoms like a rash or swelling. Types of Skin Allergies They come in different forms. Here are the most common kinds: Contact dermatitis. If you’ve ever gotten a rash after wearing a new ring or using a different soap, you’ve probably had this condition. Your skin touches an allergen, like nickel or a chemical in a soap, lotion, or sunscreen. Particles in the air, such as pollen, can also trigger dermatitis when they land on the skin. Your doctor may call this “airborne contact dermatitis.” In some cases, you’ll have a reaction only after you’ve been in the sun. This is sometimes called “photoallergic contact dermatitis.” It’s brought on by some chemicals, such as those in sunscreens, shaving lotion, and perfumes.

A 45-year old male developed this rash after taking clindamycin and metronidazole for a tooth infection. The rash not pruritic and it started on his abdomen after it spread and become confluent (this is 3rd-day of rash appearance). He also has a fever up to 38 degrees Celsius.
