Allergic rash is a specific reaction of the body in the form of secretion in the skin of histamine in response to certain irritants (allergens).
There is an allergic rash in the form of certain signs of irritation, redness, etc. Appearing on the skin, accompanied by unpleasant itching and burning, as well as skin peeling. It happens that an allergic rash is accompanied by the appearance of various sizes of blisters filled with liquid, red pimples and edemas. Sometimes allergic rashes are accompanied by the formation of crusts and constant wetting of affected skin areas.
It happens that allergies react with the appearance of a rash on the skin not on one stimulus, but on several. Moreover, it should be noted that these allergens are absolutely safe substances and do not pose any threat to the health of other people. But for allergy sufferers, the immune system is arranged in a way that reacts to these completely innocuous substances, since they pose a danger to them.
Allergic skin rash is manifested in several forms:
- in the form of urticaria, characterized by the appearance of blisters on individual parts of the skin or their spread throughout the body, as well as the appearance of reddening of the skin and itching;
- developed edema Quincke, which manifests itself in the form of sudden and sharp swelling of the skin along with subcutaneous tissue and mucous membranes;
- eczema, which manifests itself as an inflammatory process of the upper layers of the skin of a neuro-allergic nature that occurs in response to various external and internal stimuli. For eczema characterized by eruptions of polymorphic, that is, a diverse nature, as well as the presence of itching and a prolonged course of the disease of a recurring nature.
- atopic dermatitis, which is characterized by the appearance of erythema with bright reddening of skin areas, as well as the presence of a pronounced edema; In the future, there may be blisters that do not open and blisters, which, when opened, leave wetting erosion.
There are countless allergens that can cause skin reactions. The main ones are:
- allergic response to medicines used externally;
- manifestations of allergy to various parts of clothing, for example, on hooks, clasps of watches and clothes, elements of belts, inserts from any materials, certain types of fabrics;
- the appearance of a skin reaction to perfumes and cosmetics - to various perfumes, toilet water, deodorants, toilet soap, cream, milk, lotions, tonics, emulsions, masks, foundation creams, powder, mascara, eye shadow and other cosmetics;

- the manifestation of skin allergy as a result of gastrointestinal poisoning;
- the occurrence of an allergic rash, as a reaction to stress factors and the overall increased nervous excitability of the body.
In modern medicine, it is considered that all kinds of allergic diseases can be attributed to pathological immune reactions of the body. Therefore, it can be noted that the main cause of allergic rash is a decrease in immunity and the appearance of immunodeficiency states.
Treatment of allergic rash in adults
The first stage of treatment of allergic rash in adults is to determine the source that caused an allergic reaction of the body and removing it from the access zone of the allergic person.
At the initial stage, when the allergen has not yet been determined, it is necessary to resort to effective means of local treatment of allergic rash. First of all, the treatment should be aimed at eliminating the edema and reducing the itching and burning of the skin. To this end, affected areas should be moistened with cold water, or apply a cold compress, or compress with calamine lotion.
It is also used, and wiping with vodka or alcohol allergic parts of the skin, which helps to relieve inflammation, and also reduces itching and burning. On cotton wool with a diameter of five to seven centimeters is applied from thirty to fifty grams of alcohol, which is abundantly wiped off the inflamed skin. After that the fleece is applied for ten to twenty minutes on the area of the affected place.
It should be remembered that the affected areas of the skin should be protected from external stimuli, which can trigger the spread of an allergic rash. You need to be careful about the effects on the skin of synthetic materials, as well as the friction of various tissues, the appearance of scratches or the appearance of insect bites. Among the mandatory conditions for the treatment of skin rashes is the requirement to limit the contact of the affected area of skin with water. Also it is necessary to replace clothes and linen from artificial materials on natural - cotton and so on.
In the future, it is necessary to use medicines in the form of ointments for external use and preparations for internal use. Alternative medicine is also considered effective, which involves a combination of compresses, means for rubbing into the skin, baths, as well as the means for using inside.
The use of methods of conservative and alternative medicine allows not only to effectively cure skin rash symptoms, but, further, to promote the prevention of the disease. With correctly similar methods of treatment, allergy sufferers in the future will not experience the appearance of an allergic rash and other reactions even when in contact with allergens.
An enormous amount of importance in the treatment of allergic rash is played by oral antihistamines. These include tavegil, suprastin, claritin, dimedrol, which are used in parallel with calcium gluconate. More about these medications will be told in the corresponding section "Medications for allergic rash". Perhaps, also, the appointment of sedatives - novopassita, valerian tablets, Leonurus tincture and so on.
If the patient has severe skin swelling, as well as numerous rashes, you need to urgently consult specialists who will be able to introduce hormonal corticosteroid drugs. These include aldecin, tafen nasal, nazonex, fliksonase and nasobek. In this case, it must be remembered that the use of hormonal drugs is possible only with the constant supervision of a doctor and if the indications for their use are really serious. The means of hormone therapy have many side effects, as well as provoke the decline of their own protective immune responses of the body.
Preventing the occurrence of an allergic rash consists in the use of special anti-allergic creams and ointments before contact with allergens. These drugs are applied to the skin at places of supposed interaction with aggressive substances and create a kind of barrier for their penetration into the skin.
Also, when contacting allergens, it is necessary to use protective clothing that will prevent the ingress of irritants to the skin. For example, the use of cleaning and cleaning products should be carried out in rubber gloves. Work with paint and varnish, as well as alkalis and acids, not only with gloves, but also wearing a respirator.
It is best to use at home with non-aggressive detergents and cleaning products, as well as hypoallergenic personal hygiene products.
When supposedly long stay in the sun, you need to use creams with maximum protection from sunlight, as well as hats with large fields, sunglasses, light cloaks and pareos, long-sleeved clothes, light long pants and skirts.
People with increased sensitivity to temperature changes should avoid such manifestations of the weather. And those who know about their allergic reactions to insect bites, it is necessary to use repellents. And to exclude the appearance of an allergic rash in response to food irritants, it is necessary to exclude from the menu hyper-activated products or to use them rarely and in small amounts.
If you have an allergic rash, do not self-medicate, choosing the drug you like most at the pharmacy. It is necessary to consult with an experienced dermatologist and allergist, who advise to use complex conservative treatment taking into account the individual characteristics of the patient.
It should be noted that when choosing the right drugs for allergies, the patient will experience the following effects:
- reduction of inflammatory processes on the affected area of the skin,
- elimination of itching, burning, redness and dryness of the skin,
- the absence of penetration of the infection into the patient's body through the broken skin,
- prevention of the spread of allergic rash to other skin areas and exacerbation of skin allergic reactions.
When choosing medicines for external and internal use, it is necessary to pay attention to the lack of components in the drug that can trigger further course of the allergy. Therefore, in modern medicine, the treatment of allergic rash in adults is increasingly carried out with preparations consisting of natural substances.
When an allergic rash occurs, the patient needs to pay attention to his lifestyle and diet, as this affects the level of functioning of the immune system and metabolic processes in the body. When allergy symptoms appear, the menu of the patient excludes foods that are allergenic. These include chocolate and cocoa, various industrial sweets, honey and bee products, sugar in large quantities, eggs and so on. It should be remembered that in addition to the universal products that can cause allergies, there are also food products for which the patient will only have a specific reaction.
The development of an allergic rash is also promoted by smoking. People suffering from allergic diseases should give up permanently from this harmful habit.
Stressful lifestyle promotes the emergence and aggravation of allergic reactions. Therefore, for therapeutic and preventive purposes it is recommended to change your way of life and limit the presence of negative emotional and psychological factors at home and at work. It is also necessary to monitor the general state of health and take measures that strengthen immunity.
Treatment of allergic rash during pregnancy
First of all, when treating allergic rash in pregnant women, it is necessary to eliminate the source of allergic reactions. Then it is necessary to seek the advice and appointment of treatment to a specialist.
Treatment of allergic rash during pregnancy is best done with alternative medicine, since this method of treatment is very low probability of side effects. In this case, of course, you need to consult a specialist about whether a particular pregnant woman can use certain methods of treatment.
Allergic rash is treated with local remedies:

It is necessary to hold the bound sheet on the affected area of the skin for two to three days. After that, the leaf is removed, the sore spot is washed, and then a new beaten leaf of cabbage is applied to the same area. This alternation is recommended several times.
- Perfectly helps against allergic rash and psyllium. The preparation is prepared as follows: rhizomes of elecampane are crushed, and then a handful of ground mass is taken and mixed with four to five spoons of unsalted smaltz.

In winter, a decoction is used, which is prepared as follows: one tablespoon of ground raw material is poured into one glass of water, boiled for ten minutes, infused for half an hour in a wrapped state. Use a decoction as a lotion and wash the inflamed skin areas.
For the treatment of allergic rashes, the following means of internal use are used:
- In the treatment of urticaria in pregnant women used celery juice, which is used as a food supplement. You can extract the juice only from fresh rhizomes of the plant, and you need to take the medicine by half a teaspoon three times a day for half an hour before meals.

In the treatment of eczema, it is advised to use infusions of wild plants that perfectly cleanse internal organs - the stomach, intestines, liver and kidneys, lungs, heart and spleen. Therefore, eczema is well treated in the summer, beginning in June, because at this time the plant world is rich in wild plants, in large quantities containing vitamins and nutrients. We give examples of fees for internal use:
- Take two parts of the root of the buckthorn, one part of the root of chicory, one part of the dandelion root, one part of the leaves of the watch, two parts of the fennel fruit. All raw materials must be thoroughly mixed, after which one tablespoon of the mixture is taken and poured with one glass of boiling water. The drink is boiled for half an hour, and then one hour is infused. The resulting broth is taken three-quarters of the glass two or three times a day.

It takes an infusion of one-third - half a glass five to six times a day for half an hour before meals.
If the manifestation of an allergic rash in a pregnant woman is accompanied by severe allergic reactions, it is possible, but only according to the doctor's prescription, to resort to conservative antiallergic medications.
In pregnancy, you can use the following antihistamines:
- Suprastin or chloropyramidine - only the appearance of allergic reactions of an acute nature.
- Allertec or cetirizine - is used exclusively in the second and third trimesters of pregnancy.
- Tavegil or klemastin - are prescribed in severe cases of allergy when there is a threat to the health and life of the mother, since these medications adversely affect the development of the fetus. If there is a possibility to use other medicines instead of the indicated ones, then such a replacement must be made.
- Claritin - is used during pregnancy only if the risk of developing allergic reactions threatens to severely worsen the health or life of the mother, since the use of the drug shows strong side effects that threaten the development of the fetus.
- Fexadine or fexofenadine - the drug is used during pregnancy only if the effect of its action is much higher than the possible risk to the development and health of the fetus.
When pregnancy is prohibited use of the following antihistamines:
- Pifolen or piperacillin, which are also excluded when breastfeeding.
- Dimedrol, which can be the cause of active contractions of the uterus and become a threat to the appearance of miscarriage or premature birth.
- Terfenadine, which contributes to weight loss, observed in newborns.
- Astemizole, which has a toxic effect on the fetus.
To prevent the development of an allergic rash, the expectant mother should refrain from interacting with household chemicals, as well as new cosmetics in the form of creams and makeup. Also it is not recommended to use perfumery in the form of deodorants, toilet water and perfume.
In this case, you need to remember that the food of a pregnant woman should contain minimal amounts of allergens. For the period of pregnancy, future mothers are advised to abandon the use of those foods and foods for which at least once in her life there were allergic reactions.
I want to believe that the future mothers who smoked before pregnancy, with the arrival of the waiting time of the baby, parted with such a bad habit. Smoking is not only a strong trigger for the appearance of allergic reactions, but also a means of affecting the retardation of fetal growth, as well as a violation of the development of its lungs. In addition, cigarette smoking is one of the most common causes of allergic reactions in the fetus in the form of atopic dermatitis and bronchial asthma.
During the pregnancy period, the expectant mother should not experiment and start new pets. Because, animal hair is a fairly strong allergen. Also, a pregnant woman should often conduct a wet cleaning of premises, several times a day to ventilate the apartment, once a week to vacuum carpets, carpets and upholstered furniture, as well as knock out pillows and dry them in the sun.
Treatment of allergic rash in children
Allergic rash in children appears due to contact with allergens of food, medicinal, seasonal and dust origin. Allergic rash in most cases occurs unexpectedly and almost always accompanied by severe itching, as well as a runny nose and increased lachrymation. Skin rash manifests itself in the form of well-marked relief rashes.
Also the cause of an allergic rash may be the reaction of the child's body to insect bites, as well as to contact with plants and animals.
An allergic rash in children up to the year occurs on the cheeks, neck, and also on the outer sides of the forearms and buttocks. At first - for several hours the skin rashes appear as "feverish" spots. The skin in the affected areas begins to become covered with bright red specks, which are then transformed into one reddened patch. The affected places are edematic, and after a while small bubbles filled with liquid begin to form on the skin. The child at this time begins to behave capriciously and irritably, because it is troubled by severe itching, which provokes scratching of the skin and damage to the blisters.
In preschool children, skin rashes of an allergic nature are located on the face, forearm and abdomen. The rash is manifested in the form of red or dark pink spots that look like scaly zones. In this case, the child may be disturbed by headache or drowsiness, and diarrhea and vomiting may occur.
The appearance of an allergic rash in a child requires an immediate response. Treatment of skin rashes should be carried out, first of all, because the child at combing the skin can enter into the wound different types of infections and cause a serious complication. Also, if you do not start treatment for allergic rashes, they can acquire chronic status, and also leave unsightly scars and scars on the baby's skin.
First of all, the treatment of allergic rash in children begins with the advice of an experienced dermatologist and an allergist specialist. Also, priority measures include the establishment of an allergen that caused the body's reaction and its elimination from the child's vital field.
The doctor prescribes antihistamines for use, which improve the child's condition and reduce the itching of the skin. These include Suprastin, Claritin, Dimedrolum, Allertec and others. It should be remembered that many antihistamines have a sedative effect, so do not leave the baby alone when taking medications or start somewhere yourself.
Also, the doctor will prescribe special gels, creams and ointments that can be used for external use.
In case of severe manifestations of an allergic rash, it is possible to administer injections and place the child in a hospital for treatment.
When the first symptoms of an allergic rash appear, it is necessary to resort to certain measures, namely:
- Eliminate all possible allergens from the child's menu. These include chocolate and cocoa, honey, citrus fruits, heavily colored fruits, seafood, eggs, nuts.
- It is necessary to limit the use of household chemicals in the room, as well as when washing things. Instead of the usual household chemicals, hypoallergenic drugs should be used.
- It is necessary to consult a doctor about the medicines that the child was taking. Perhaps they caused an allergic rash. If you can interrupt the reception of the drug that caused the allergy, then it must be done.
- Stop using conventional means of skin and hair care, resort to hypoallergenic cosmetics.
- Remove pets that could cause an allergic rash.
For the treatment of allergic rash in children, you can resort to the following methods:
- Ten branches of the tops of a young carrot are taken, poured half a liter of boiling water and left to persist for three hours. After that, the infusion is applied topically in the form of wiping the cotton wool of affected skin areas several times a day. Also, the infusion is taken inward by one fourth cup three times a day before meals.
- The application of the present laurel leaf for baths with the subsequent rubbing of zinc ointment in the places of allergic rash appearance is shown.
- You can also bathe the child in a wormwood decoction, and then lubricate the skin rashes with the juice of sea-buckthorn berries.
- You can lubricate the affected skin with sea buckthorn oil and rosehip oil.
- Infusion of dandelion leaves should be taken inside within a month. It is prepared as follows: a handful of fresh plant leaves is taken, poured with boiling water, insisted for half an hour and given to the child. An infusion of half a cup is taken three times a day before meals.
Treatment of allergic rash in newborns
Newborn babies may develop an allergic rash in response to unsuitable foods with allergenic properties, which are passed on to the baby through maternal milk.
Allergic skin reactions in infants are expressed:
- in the form of the appearance of rashes in various parts of the body;
- redness of affected skin;
- itching and burning, as well as peeling of the skin that resemble diathesis;
- the occurrence of diaper rash that does not go on for a long time, despite constant precautions;
- the appearance of strong sweats at even a small degree of overheating;
- the appearance of gneiss, that is, the formation of flakes and their peeling on the part of the head that is covered with hair, including in the eyebrows;
- the appearance of hives;
- the appearance of edema Quincke.
The greatest danger for newborns is edema Quincke, which is characterized by the sudden appearance of edema of the skin along with subcutaneous tissue and mucous membranes. With Quincke's edema, the newborn has symptoms of suffocation in the larynx, which resemble bronchial asthma. The edema of the larynx is accompanied by the hoarseness of the voice, the appearance of a barking cough, and after them - shortness of breath with noisy breathing. The complexion of the newborn changes to cyanotic, and then sharply becomes pale.
It should be noted that skin lesions of an allergic nature can be combined with allergic lesions of the gastrointestinal tract or bronchi. Food allergies affect the occurrence in the future of diseases such as atopic dermatitis and bronchial asthma.
Treatment of allergic rash in newborns begins with a certain diet, which excludes all possible allergens. In this case, the nursing mother should seek help from a pediatrician and an allergist.
For one or two weeks, the lactating mother should exclude from her diet the following foods that are manufactured in an industrial way. These include those that contain preservatives and dyes, emulsifiers and sugar. The use of salt, sugar, strong broths, fried foods and milk for this time is also completely excluded. Dairy products should be consumed in minimum quantities. At the same time, it is very important that the natural, that is, breastfeeding does not stop in any way. Since the mother's milk contains substances that help strengthen the immune system and protect the newborn from allergens.
The most common allergens are milk. Then there are various chemical additives in the form of preservatives, dyes, various fillers, vitamin complexes, fluoride and iron preparations, drug coatings, and various herbs. Brightly colored fruits, berries and vegetables also provoke the appearance of skin rashes. Gluten, a protein found in most cereal crops, is a strong allergen, to which newborns respond (it is not found in buckwheat, rice and corn, which, therefore, are not allergens).
The presence of other highly allergenic foods in the diet of a nursing mother is appropriate only after the one-year-old age of the baby. This applies to eggs, honey, fish, seafood, cocoa and chocolate, caviar, carrots, tomatoes, mushrooms, nuts, citrus fruits, raspberries, peppers, strawberries, kiwi, pineapples, pomegranates, mangoes, persimmons, melons, natural coffee.
With a sharp increase in allergic edema in a newborn, urgent medical measures are needed, namely:
- Immediately call an ambulance by dialing 103. At the same time, you need to consult on the phone about the dose of antihistamine that is available at home to give it to the child before the arrival of the ambulance.
- Then it is necessary to give the newborn an antihistamine in the dose that was recommended by specialists. For these purposes, fit dimedrol, diprazine, diazolin, suprastin and claritin. These medicines are produced both in the form of tablets and in the form of sweet syrup, which is most conveniently used for infants. Once again I want to remind you that you can apply these drugs only after consulting with a doctor.
It happens that at the age of three weeks on the skin of babies appear rashes in the form of small pimples and red, called pimples, mussels. These manifestations are not associated with allergies, but are a consequence of the hormonal reconstruction of the newborn's body. At this time, the mother hormones disappear from the body of the baby, and in their place come their own hormones. To these changes, the baby has to adapt, and during the transitional period, the newborn also has similar skin reactions. By one and a half months, these manifestations will disappear in any case, so Mom should not worry, and also take this rash for allergies. Also, you can not squeeze out these pimples, and also try to remove them with fleece or gauze. In this case, the penetration of infection through the affected areas of the skin and the appearance of serious consequences for the health of the baby.
Diathesis and other skin rashes of an allergic nature in newborns are always accompanied by other manifestations of allergy. These include redness and the appearance of skin roughness, the appearance of very dry areas on the skin, the appearance of a frequent green stool in a newborn, severe anxiety, the presence of pruritus of the skin, which can be accompanied in some cases by sneezing and coughing.
The cause of skin rashes in newborns is not only food allergies to certain foods that mom uses, but also the following:
- Children's cosmetics in the form of creams, oils, milk, powders and so on.
- Rinsers for linen, which are used for children's clothing, and for the attire of adults, with whom the child is constantly in contact.
- Washing powders, even children's.
- Perfumes and cosmetics, which are used by the nearest adults.
- Synthetic and woolen fabrics.
- Pets, aquarium fish, dry food for aquarium fish.
Therefore, with the first symptoms of an allergic rash, it is necessary to minimize the contact of the newborn with the above allergens.
For external use in the treatment of allergic rashes, the following are used:
- frequent air baths,
- Baths with infusion of chamomile and a turn one - two times a day,
- fresh carrot juice, which lubricated affected areas four to five times a day with cotton wool,
- cosmetic drying hypoallergenic agents with a mopping allergic rash.
With a severe allergic rash, it is necessary to show the newborn to the doctor and, on his recommendation, to apply any alternative medicine.
When an allergic rash occurs in a newborn, parents also need to monitor the following:
- It is necessary to establish regular emptying of the intestines of the newborn, since constipation causes the absorption of toxins into the blood, which must be removed with feces. Due to the violation of the stool, the body absorbs allergens, which, in the normal functioning of the intestines, would have left the gastrointestinal tract. Later, poisoning of the newborn with toxins and allergens occurs, which are manifested on the skin of a child in the form of an allergic rash.
- Do not use any pharmacological agents for the treatment of a newborn, especially for internal use. The exception is when the degree of allergic reaction is a serious threat to the health and life of the baby. Those medications that can be easily absorbed by an adult body most often harm the newborn in the form of strong side effects.
Do not make exceptions and medicines in the form of syrups, recommended for newborns, because they contain preservatives, dyes, flavors and so on. The substances that are contained in them, can exacerbate an already allergic disease.
The most harmless means for treating skin allergies in a newborn are considered to be natural, that is, available in alternative medicine. In this case, it must be remembered that newborns can have allergic reactions to herbs and other natural remedies. Therefore, before the treatment of the baby it is necessary to consult a pediatrician.
- When caring for a newborn, only specialized hypoallergenic children's cosmetics should be used, which has a neutral pH level.
- When bathing a newborn, the water in the bath should be warm enough, but not hot. And the duration of water procedures should not exceed twenty minutes. At the same time, bathing water should be free from chlorine, so that it needs to be filtered out or kept for one or two hours, and then add boiling water to it in order to warm up the water.
- To avoid damage to the skin, do not rub the newborn with a washcloth. Do not always use toilet soap, even children's and hypoallergenic. The newborn simply can not get so dirty that it needs to be bathed every day with soap - enough of its weekly use. Of course, when bathing babies are excluded and a variety of foam baths, shower gels and so on. After bathing, gently pat the baby's skin with a towel, and then lubricate the baby with a moisturizing and emollient.
- The newborn should also not overheat, so it always needs to be dressed according to the season in an optimal clothing that should be made from natural fabrics. If there is a tendency to frequent occurrence of an allergic rash, you can iron the baby's clothes before dressing. Bedding in the form of pillows and blankets should have synthetic fillers, since natural ingredients can cause the appearance of an allergic rash.
- Toys and objects handled by a newborn should be made from natural materials or have quality certificates that indicate their safety for infants.
- It is necessary to monitor the air quality in the room - it must be clean and moist, with a moderate temperature. To do this, it is often necessary to conduct a wet cleaning of the premises and several times a day to ventilate the housing. Also, you need to take measures to ensure that the baby spends a lot of time in the open air.
Treatment of allergic rash on the face
When an allergic rash begins to appear on the face - this is considered a "tragedy" for women and leads to discontent with their appearance in men. Even in children the mood worsens when they notice allergic rashes on their faces.
Treatment of allergic rash on the face begins, first of all, with the detection of an allergen that caused such unpleasant skin manifestations. After that, it is necessary to remove the allergen from the patient's reach zone or stop contacting it. In this case, immediately it is necessary to consult a specialist - an allergist, which will help get rid of the symptoms of allergic rashes.
An allergic rash on the face manifests itself as a strong peeling of the skin, the appearance of reddened areas and numerous small red dots, various blisters and swelling, unpleasant itching, and a feeling of tightness and dry skin.
Allergic rash on the face appears as a result of the reaction of the patient's body to any component of the drug or food taken internally. Also, similar rashes are observed when unsuitable cosmetics are used on the face skin - creams, lotions, milk, masks, foundation, powder and so on. Contact with plants and animals can also be affected by the appearance of a rash on the face and the appearance of unpleasant symptoms.
It should be noted that the appearance of strong signs of allergy on the face can occur within two days after the interaction with the allergen. Therefore, it is quite difficult to find the desired provoker of the disease due to the fact that it is necessary to remember all the possible cases that caused a rash on the face.
