Triggering Your Skin.
Skin allergies can appear in many forms, including itching, redness, swelling, scaling, burning, small bumps, or blistering. The reaction may develop after contact with cosmetics, metals, fragrances, medications, plants, detergents, or other substances.
A dermatology consultation looks beyond the visible rash. Your medical history, timing of symptoms, exposure patterns, affected areas, and previous reactions can all help identify the most likely cause.
Diagnosis Before Assumption
A rash that looks like an allergy may have another cause.

FAQ.
What symptoms can indicate a skin allergy?
Skin allergy reactions can include itching, redness, swelling, scaling, bumps, blisters, burning, or a localized rash. Similar symptoms can also occur with other skin conditions, so assessment may be useful when symptoms persist.
What can cause an allergic skin reaction?
Possible triggers include metals such as nickel, fragrances, cosmetics, preservatives, topical medications, rubber, plants, adhesives, and other substances.
What is patch testing?
Patch testing is a diagnostic method used to investigate certain types of delayed allergic contact reactions. Small amounts of suspected allergens are applied to the skin and evaluated according to a dermatologist's testing protocol.
Is every skin rash an allergy?
No. Rashes can have many causes, including eczema, irritation, infection, medication reactions, and other dermatological conditions. A consultation can help determine which possibilities should be considered.
Should I stop all my skincare products before consultation?
Do not make major treatment changes without appropriate guidance. It can be helpful to bring or record the products you have recently used, including skincare, cosmetics, hair products, medications, detergents, and other relevant exposures.
