Allergic spots indicate the reaction of the body to the effect of a certain stimulus. Consider the causes of skin rashes, types of allergic spots, methods for their diagnosis, as well as treatment and prognosis.
Eruptions on the skin indicate allergic dermatitis, a disease that occurs as a result of the body's response to the stimulus. Spots can appear for a short time with direct contact of the skin with the allergen. In this case, it can be said that the patient has an increased sensitivity or sensitization, which very often develops in relation to one substance or a group similar in chemical structure.
Sometimes the signs of allergy are very obvious, and the person comes to the conclusion about the disease and its causes. If the allergen enters the body from the air, that is by inhalation, an allergic reaction will affect the eyes and respiratory tract. If the stimulus is ingested, the reaction appears in the digestive tract.
But this is not always the case, for example, food allergies can cause swelling of the lips, allergic spots on the skin and cause an asthma attack. A reaction to drugs will cause a whole range of local and general symptoms, which make it difficult to recognize allergies. Symptoms of allergies can be masked by other diseases. It is very easy to confuse a cold with symptoms of hay fever or insect bites with a rash in hives. With increased sensitivity to allergens and a weakened immune system, cutaneous manifestations of allergy are not uncommon. The cause of spots on the skin can be any reaction.
An allergic stain is a patch that does not protrude above the skin, that is, the relief, and skin density does not change. Spots can appear on different parts of the body: the face, lower and upper extremities, belly. At the beginning, the rashes are small, but with the progression of the disease, they expand and merge.
Skin eruptions in the form of spots appear with such diseases as pink lichen and psoriasis. At first glance, an allergy is a harmless disease, but it's not. The disease can cause very serious consequences. Therefore, when the first symptoms of the disease and the appearance of spots need to seek medical help. The dermatologist can find the cause of the rash and prescribe the correct, effective treatment.
Causes of allergic spots
The causes of allergic spots are very diverse. So, skin rashes can appear because of the body's reaction to the stimulus or be serious enough. Spots appear with hormonal failures, diseases of internal organs and a number of other factors. Consider the main causes of allergic spots.
- Allergic reactions
If the rash appears regularly, for example, after using medicines or food, then it indicates an allergy. On the skin appear spots, which gradually turn into a state of blisters and begin to itch. To eliminate this problem, you need to contact an allergist and dermatologist. As a rule, after refusal of products or medicines, skin reactions pass.
- Infectious diseases
Infection is transmitted by airborne or by contact. At the initial stage, the skin appears rashes in the form of spots that occupy a large area of the body, accompanied by itching and fever. It can be measles, chickenpox, meningitis, syphilis at the stage of progression, rubella or ringworm. In some cases, spots on the skin indicate typhoid fever. Various dermatitis, eczema and psoriasis also cause damage to the body, similar to allergic spots.
- Improper diet
Unbalanced nutrition, overeating roast, fatty, smoked, spicy leads to the appearance of reddish spots on the skin. Rashes may appear against a background of a decreased immune system, a lack of vitamins and minerals. Most often, spots appear on the face, abdomen and arms. To eliminate the pathology, it is enough to revise your diet and go to a more healthy and natural food.
- Diseases of the cardiovascular system
In some cases, allergic spots on the skin indicate damage to the vegetative system. And this is not surprising, since in the human body everything is interconnected, and the appearance of spots on the skin indicates certain problems. An unstable state of the nervous system, that is, excitement, fear or shame, also causes rashes in the form of red spots. Such violations of a vegetative nature do not bear serious consequences, but it will not be possible to completely get rid of stains on the skin.
- Diseases of the nervous system
If allergic spots appear after strong emotional changes, that is, against the background of stresses, experiences, then a consultation of a neurologist is necessary. To eliminate the ailment the patient is recommended to be engaged in strengthening the nervous system and taking sedatives.

Symptoms of allergic spots
Symptoms of allergic spots largely depend on their cause. As a rule, the clinical manifestations of rashes are similar to the course of the acute stage of eczema. At the first stage, large spots or reddening appear on the skin, which can later be formed into small bubbles with liquid. When they burst, they leave wetting superficial skin defects or form crusts and scales. The disease is accompanied by itching, fever, tearing and even a runny nose.
Allergic spots appear on different parts of the body, their symptoms can last from several minutes to several days, or even months. The main lesion is located at the site of exposure to the allergen on the skin. But do not forget that any allergic reaction, including allergic dermatitis - is a disease of the whole body, and not a separate organ or area of the body. That is why secondary foci can occur on any part of the body. In some cases, spots are located on the skin very far from the site of exposure to the allergen.
What are allergic spots?
What are allergic spots, a question that arises when you suspect allergies. Spots can be of any shape and size, create bizarre patterns of different colors on the skin. An allergic spot is not a patch above the skin. Spots appear on different parts of the body, but do not change the relief or density of the skin. Consider the main types of allergic spots and diseases that cause their appearance.
- The spots on the skin are the main symptom of hives and can occupy a large area of its surface. With hives, the spots appear suddenly, moving around the different parts of the body. A similar phenomenon can be observed for several hours, but after a day they disappear, also suddenly, as they appeared.
- Photodermatosis is a disease, the main symptom of which is allergic spots on the skin. Rashes are pink and appear due to exposure to sunlight. Most often, spots appear on open parts of the body, that is, face, hands or shins, accompanied by severe itching of the skin and swelling. The severity of the eruptions depends on the state of the immune system.
- Allergic spots appear in people with weakened immunity. For example, psoriasis causes skin lesions, but is not a contagious disease. On the body formed spots of red, which gradually turn into plaques with silvery scales. The disease manifests itself on the scalp, the area of the elbow and knee joints.
- Another cause of allergic spots is pink lichen. On the skin appear pink eruptions, which slightly rise above its surface. The spots acquire oval oblong form, spread to the skin of the chest, arms and abdomen. After 6-8 weeks, the rash may come off, but after a while, reappear.
The appearance of allergic spots is an occasion to immediately seek medical help. The doctor will conduct a differential diagnosis, determine the real cause of the rash and prescribe the necessary treatment.
Allergic skin spots
Allergic spots on the skin - this is a kind of protective reaction of the body to the effect of the allergen. The skin has immune properties, and all due to the fact that the epidermis and dermis include lymphocytes, Langerhas cells, keratinocytes and others. The main task of these cells is the recognition of antigens, that is, harmful substances and help the body in confronting rashes on the skin.
All the irritants that provoke allergic skin reactions are divided into two groups. The first group is the obligate factors that manifest themselves on the skin. And the second group is facultative factors of irritation, which are manifested with increased sensitivity to their effects. That is, allergic spots can appear due to obligate stimuli, and dermatitis due to allergens.
- Rashes on the skin appear when exposed to an allergen, due to chemical, biological or mechanical causes. For example, in children of one-year-old age the allergy appears because of scuffs. Stains on the skin occur when exposed to medicines, chemicals, plants, paint, and much more.
- Allergic spots on the skin appear not only because of the effects of allergens, but also in neuropsychic, hereditary, exogenous or endogenous effects. Eruptions appear due to nervous tension or stress, when the skin interacts with various metals from which jewelry is made and much more.
- Skin lesions are observed with toxemia, that is, side effects of medications. Any food or drug can cause a rash (even if it is from a group of antihistamines that are prescribed to combat allergies).
- Defeats of the immune system or hereditary disorders also cause a predisposition to the appearance of allergic reactions due to the action of different substances.
- Stains on the skin occur with increased permeability of the vessels. If the skin is affected by an irritant, it leads to the appearance of urticaria and even swelling. Allergic spots on the entire surface of the skin appear with food allergies. Spots appear on the neck, torso or face, cause irritation and redness. If the rash starts to itch, it leads to nervous tension and worsening of the general condition.
Allergic spots on the body
Allergic spots on the body indicate the effect of an allergen or a disease that can only be diagnosed by a qualified physician. Skin lesions cause not only allergens, but also any other irritants, for example, bacteria or fungi. Reception of medicines, cosmetics, insect bites, animal hair or plant pollen, provoke the appearance of spots on the skin. Eruptions appear with such diseases as hives, psoriasis, eczema, lichen and others.
Allergic spots throughout the body indicate the neglect of the disease. However, if you do not remove the cause of the rash, then soon to the spots to join a very unpleasant symptomatology - anaphylactic shock or angioedema. If the spots are caused by an allergen, then the rashes last 2-3 days. The peculiarity of the spots is that they do not go beyond the level of the skin, appear on their own and also disappear without a trace. In some cases, the rashes begin to peel off and persist for a long period of time, leaving behind small scars. For example, with psoriasis and eczema, the stains are strongly itchy.
Allergic spots on the face
Allergic spots on the face, as a rule, arise because of cosmetic means for skin care, food or medicine. But do not forget about a number of diseases, which are also accompanied by rashes in the form of spots on the skin of the face and body. If the rashes are allergic in nature, they cause severe itching, flaking and even inflammation. In this case, in order to get rid of the pathology, it is necessary to stop using the means that caused such a reaction, stop taking medication or eat certain foods. The use of antihistamines will be effective.
Stains on the face appear with allergies to sunlight, cold or chemical vapors. Very often, skin eruptions occur when exposed to toxins that produce intestinal parasites. Only in this case, in addition to allergies, there are symptoms from the digestive and gastrointestinal tract. Spots appear with a deficiency of vitamins and minerals, fungal diseases of the skin or with skin lesions by a subcutaneous mite.

Red allergic spots on the face
Red allergic spots on the face have many causes, each of which requires detailed study and diagnosis. A similar reaction can occur when the sun is exposed to the skin for a long time. If red spots appear in the cold season, then this indicates an allergy to cold. As a rule, such reactions occur in people with dry skin. Red rashes on the face may indicate a serious illness. Therefore, regardless of the cause of their appearance, you should immediately seek medical help. Similar rashes it is not recommended to mask with a voice-frequency cream or powder, as it only will aggravate a skin condition. Self-medication is also not the best option, but if there is a desire to identify the cause of red spots, you can do the following:
- Eliminate from your daily diet allergen products: chocolate, citrus fruits, strawberries. If after that the face began to look better, then it indicates the recovery of the body.
- The lack of vitamins is another cause of allergic rashes. Get a vitamin complex and eat more vegetables, fruits and greens.
- To find out the cause of the rash, try to remember when the red spots appeared for the first time. If they appeared because of prolonged sun exposure, physical exertion, cold or hot shower, then do not worry. But if the rash appears with a certain periodicity, then this indicates the reaction of the body to medicines or food.
Red allergic spots on the face appear in viral diseases (herpes, chickenpox), as well as in bacterial infections. The rash may indicate abnormalities in the functioning of the liver, gallbladder, or gastrointestinal tract. Systemic and autoimmune diseases, hormonal imbalance and metabolic disorders also provoke the appearance of red spots on the skin of the face and body.
Red spotted rashes on the face are the first sign of such diseases as: red and pink lichen, acne, couperose, erythrose, rosacea or psoriasis. Each of these ailments requires specific treatment, so medical care is required. Often spots on the face appear with endocrine or neurological diseases. In this case, psycho-hygiene and sedatives are perfect for treatment.
Allergic spots on the hands
Allergic spots on the hands indicate the reaction of the body to a certain stimulus. The appearance of spots can cause an incorrect diet. The condition of the skin is badly affected by fatty and fried foods, spicy, salty, sweets, flour. In some cases, it's enough to adjust your diet and the rashes on your hands will go down.
Another reason for the appearance of spots on the limbs is the inflammatory processes of the digestive tract, which affect the skin condition. Rashes appear on contact with the allergen. For example, the skin was stained after a new hand cream or after washing with a new powder.
Increased nervous excitability also leads to the appearance of ugly allergic spots on the skin. Regular stresses, conflicts and experiences negatively affect both the skin condition and the functioning of the whole organism. With regular rashes on the nerves, it is recommended to take light soothing medications. It can be an infusion of valerian, peony or motherwort, preparations based on these herbs: Persen, Novo-Passit and others.

Allergic spots on the legs
Allergic spots on the legs are the body's reaction to the allergen. Eruptions have a variety of symptoms, spots can appear immediately after contact with the irritant or develop gradually, causing concomitant unpleasant symptoms. The main causes of allergy on the legs are: fungal infections, synthetic clothing or poor-quality footwear, reaction to household chemicals or skin care products, reaction to pets, dust mites, internal diseases, body disorders and much more. Very often the spots appear when the skin contacts with low temperatures or the sun, when wearing tight shoes.
Rashes on the legs are accompanied by an itch, which is intense and intensifies at night. Stains can be transformed into blisters, pustules or red spots of irregular shape. In some cases, where the rash appears, the skin becomes inflamed, which leads to swelling of the feet. If the allergic reaction is not eliminated in a timely manner, this increases the risk of erosion or chronic dermatitis.
To treat allergies on the legs it is necessary to establish the cause of the rashes and eliminate any contact with the allergen. The main therapy is aimed at the removal of the inflammatory process, redness of the skin and rashes. For these purposes, use antihistamines, ointments and foot creams, and also observe a special diet. Obligatory is the hygiene of the feet.

It is very important to start treatment of allergic spots and any other symptoms of the disease in a timely manner to prevent possible complications.
Allergic spots on the neck
Allergic spots on the neck are an unpleasant problem that delivers both aesthetic and physical discomfort. The neck is a sensitive area of the skin, so any allergic reactions lead to unpleasant sensations. Rashes may appear due to the use of new cosmetics, chemicals or synthetic products that come in contact with the skin of the neck, face, hands or chest. Excessive use of preservatives, food with food additives or the use of medications, also cause allergic spots. Do not forget about the effects of viruses and microbes, which provoke adverse reactions to the skin and body.
All the above-described factors are common, since they cause not only allergic reactions in the form of spots, but also other unpleasant symptoms. Treatment of spots on the neck is similar to treating any other symptoms of allergy. The most important thing is to establish the cause of the rashes. Spots often appear due to local effects or are part of the reaction to the entire body. Local causes of rashes on the neck are as follows:
- Prolonged sweat. Because sweat is a salty liquid, it easily causes allergic spots, both on the neck and on other parts of the body.
- Cosmetic agents cause rashes and redness in places of application. Most often, the skin of the face, neck, chest and back suffers from stains.
- Pollen of plants and animal hair is another factor provoking rashes in the neck and décolleté area. Food allergens cause allergic reactions, for example, fish, milk, citrus, chocolate.
- Various ornaments (chains, necklaces) made of simple and precious metals can be oxidized during prolonged wear, and oxidation products irritate the skin of the neck. Particles of metals penetrate into the upper layer of the epithelium, which causes their rejection by the body and as a result there are spots and other eruptions.
- Rashes also appear due to a detergent. And the spots on the neck can appear in both adults and children
In addition to spots on the skin, an allergic reaction causes itching and burning. On the neck there is a characteristic puffiness and peeling, dry skin is possible. In some cases, the spots turn into small bubbles and scales. Allergies cause headaches and shortness of breath. Treatment is based on eliminating the irritant, that is, the active allergen. For this it is recommended to consult a dermatologist and an allergist. It is not superfluous to consult a physician of an immunologist, since people with a reduced immune system often suffer from allergies.
From local remedies use various creams, anti-inflammatory compresses and ointments. At constant or repeated interaction with an allergen, aggravating situations are possible (the dermatitis will pass in an eczema). To completely eliminate allergic spots it will take a long time. But do not forget about such preventive measures as strengthening immunity. This will restore the immune system and prevent many diseases.
Red allergic spots
Red allergic spots tend to indicate an infectious disease or irritation due to exposure to a protective allergen. Depending on the cause of the rashes, the spots have different localization and size, as well as the duration of appearance. Allergic spots are characterized by a change in color (red or pink) of the surface area of the skin or mucous membranes. If there is a spot with a blister, knot, tubercle, or nodule, it refers to the inalient formations. Such elements are at the same level with surrounding tissues and do not touch the healthy skin by touch.
Normally, the surface of the skin and mucous membranes without spots and have an even color. The appearance of rashes in combination with itching and other symptoms indicates a pathological condition. The cause of their appearance may be associated with skin diseases, allergic, infectious or somatic pathologies.
- Allergic diseases
Such pathologies are the body's reaction to an allergen. Almost always accompanied by itching, scaling and dry skin. Consider the most common allergic reactions, which are accompanied by red spots on the skin:
- Allergic dermatitis - inflammation of the skin, which provokes an allergen. There are the following types of dermatitis: toxemia, phytodermatitis and contact dermatitis. The main symptom of allergic dermatitis is redness and itching in different areas of the skin. Stains have different sizes, can be filled with transparent contents, form crusts and scales.
- Serum sickness is a disease of allergic origin. It arises as a response to the introduction of serum of animal origin into the body (with a therapeutic purpose). Red allergic spots are similar to those of measles and erythema. The rash is accompanied by swelling, itching, fever and pain in the joints.
- Neurodermatitis is a chronic disease of an allergic nature. It arises because of a disturbance of metabolic processes or lesions of the nervous system. The main signs of the disease: skin hyperemia, severe itching, the appearance of spots, nodules and plaques.
- Eczema is an inflammatory allergic skin disease. When eczema on the skin appears a lot of small red spots, which are transformed into a variety of eruptions: erosion, peel or vesicle.
- Inflammatory and non-inflammatory spots
Red rashes of an inflammatory nature are associated with the expansion of blood vessels. If you press on such a spot, it disappears. Rashes in the size of 2 to 25 mm are called roseola, and spots in diameter larger than 25 mm erythema. In addition to redness, there is itching, general ailments and intoxication of the body. The cause may be in contact with allergens or infectious nature.
Non-inflammatory spots do not disappear when pressed and appear when the internal organs or blood vessels are affected. If the speck is the size of a point, then this is a petechia, if the size is not more than 2 cm, then it is purple, if more than 2 cm, then this is ecchymosis.
Red spots on the skin appear and with fungal diseases, the main ones: ringworm, dermatophytosis. Rashes can be bacterial or viral in nature. In this case, we are talking about diseases such as scarlet fever, shingles, borelliosis, measles or rubella. At a psoriasis also there are red maculae on a skin which can be mistakenly confused with an allergic reaction. The disease is non-infectious in nature and most often affects adults.
Such a variety of rashes on the skin suggests that without differentiated diagnosis it is very difficult to distinguish allergic red spots from cutaneous or any other disease. Timely appeal for medical help will allow to reveal the pathology in time and start its treatment.
Allergic spots in the baby
Allergic spots in a child appear at any age and in any part of the body, the causes of this pathology are many. Skin irritation occurs with contact and food allergies, which are accompanied by spotty rashes. Such a rash is itchy, flaky and discomforting. If the allergic reaction has appeared in the baby, the reason lies in the menu of the child or in the nursing mother. The thing is that the children's organism reacts instantly to unusual foods or conventional, but in large doses.
Allergic spots with contact allergies appear when in contact with the stimulus. It can be a detergent powder that has been left on poorly rinsed baby clothes, synthetic or woolen clothes. In this case, rashes in the form of spots appear on the palms, cheeks and other parts of the child's body. After stopping contact with the irritant, the rashes remain for several days. If they cause painful sensations, then it is necessary to consult a dermatologist. Since persistent itching and flaking lead to scratching of the skin, and this threatens infection and further serious treatment.
Diagnosis of allergic spots
Diagnosis of allergic spots has many methods and methods. Each allergic disease has its own survey plan, so the doctor chooses one or another method. But the final diagnosis is made only after a comprehensive diagnosis. Everything begins with the collection of anamnesis, that is, the questioning of a doctor. The doctor learns about the patient's complaints, the beginning of the disease, the peculiarities and conditions of its development, possible exacerbations, working conditions and many other things. After that, the following methods can be used for further diagnosis:
- Skin tests - examination is carried out by a scratch or prick to determine exactly which allergen caused the spots on the skin. The entire procedure is painless, carried out on the skin in the forearm area. On a clean skin, drop the allergen and small scratches or light pricks. And in the first and second case, blood vessels are not affected. At a time, put no more than 10-15 samples. After a while on the skin may appear a small puffiness, redness or spotted rashes, indicating the cause of the ailment.
- Elimination tests - this method is used for the constant contact of the allergen with the skin. That is to confirm the stimulus. Elimination is the removal of the allergen, the simplest example of such a test is the elimination diet. Diagnosis is the complete exclusion from the diet of the suspected allergen. If after 1-2 weeks the rash passes, then this indicates the cause of the allergy.
- Investigation of specific immunoglobulins Ig E - an analysis to determine the group of causative stimuli. To carry it, blood is taken from the vein. The method has a high sensitivity, and the information obtained as a result of the study is similar to that obtained by skin testing.
- Provocative tests - are used when the above methods do not allow you to make a final diagnosis. The study is conducted only on strict indications and only in an allergological hospital. An allergen is injected under the tongue, nose and bronchus of the patient, and after a certain period of time the result is estimated. Since this method of diagnosis can cause a severe allergic reaction, the study is conducted in the presence of a doctor who is able to provide emergency medical care.
In the process of diagnosis and choice of treatment the doctor can ask to keep a diary in which it is necessary to indicate the time of onset of allergic rashes and all the accompanying symptoms. This will help in the selection of therapy and preventive measures.
Who to contact?
Treatment of allergic spots
Treatment of allergic spots is based on the results of diagnosis and determining the cause of skin rashes. The doctor's task is to exclude the possibility of other ailments, prescribe antihistamines, and if necessary, steroids. If the allergen is not determined, the patient is given a preventive vaccination. In any case, treatment should be timely. Since the frequency of rashes and the appearance of other pathological symptoms depend on the use of medications. But you can take allergy medications only by prescription. Self-medication and self-diagnosis are unacceptable, since they can lead to very serious consequences.
In order to completely get rid of rashes it takes time. To treat allergic spots and other skin lesions, it is recommended to use a variety of ointments. Consider the main drugs used for therapy:
