Learn More About Skin Allergy Treatment

If you’re struggling with skin allergies, Florida Dermatology Specialists may be able to help with allergy treatments. We can help you detect and prevent allergies to improve your quality of life.

Causes of Skin Allergies

Skin allergies, also called contact dermatitis, is an irritation of the skin that occurs when it comes in contact with various allergens. Typically, skin allergies display as red, itchy or burning rashes on the skin. While many cases of skin allergies are minor and temporary, they can still cause significant discomfort, especially when they are recurring. Although there are many possible causes for skin allergies, some of the most common include:

  • Fragrance and preservatives
  • Metals, such as those in jewelry
  • Lotions and topical medications
  • Nail polish
  • Latex gloves
  • Chemicals common in skin products

Skin Allergy Treatment

In many cases, skin allergies can be managed by avoiding the irritant that causes the allergic reaction. However, patients who are unsure of the cause of their skin allergies, or who are struggling with persistent or severe symptoms, may choose to consult a dermatologist. At Florida Dermatology Specialists, we can prescribe topical medications and offer expert advice on managing your skin allergies. During your visit, we’ll help you determine the best treatment plan for you, which may include testing for common allergens.
