Skin Allergies Treatment

Skin allergies occur when your immune system reacts to a substance (allergen) that is typically harmless to most people. These reactions can cause various symptoms ranging from mild redness and itching to severe rashes and swelling. At Sarojini Devi Skin Hospital, we offer comprehensive diagnosis and treatment for all types of skin allergies to help you find relief and prevent future reactions.

Common Types of Skin Allergies We Treat

• Contact Dermatitis: Skin reaction from direct contact with allergens like metals, cosmetics, or plants
• Atopic Dermatitis (Eczema): Chronic condition causing dry, itchy, inflamed skin
• Urticaria (Hives): Raised, itchy welts that can appear suddenly
• Angioedema: Swelling in deeper layers of skin, often around eyes and lips
• Drug Eruptions: Skin reactions to medications
• Photoallergic Reactions: Allergic responses triggered by sun exposure

• Metals (especially nickel in jewelry)
• Fragrances in perfumes, soaps, and cosmetics
• Preservatives and chemicals in skincare products
• Latex in gloves and other products
• Plants like poison ivy, oak, and sumac
• Certain foods (nuts, dairy, shellfish, etc.)
