When experiencing a skin allergy to essential balm, the following measures can be taken to relieve symptoms:
1. Discontinue use of essential balm: Immediately stop using essential balm once a skin allergy is detected to prevent further worsening of the allergic reaction.
2. Cleanse the skin: Rinse the affected area thoroughly with plenty of water to remove any residual essential balm and reduce skin irritation.
3. Cold compress: Gently apply an ice pack wrapped in a towel or a cold, damp cloth to the affected area to help reduce redness, swelling, itching, and pain.
4. Keep the area dry: Maintain dryness of the affected skin area and avoid moist environments that may exacerbate symptoms.
5. Anti-inflammatory ointments: Topical applications such as hydrocortisone cream or hydrocortisone butyrate cream can help reduce inflammatory reactions. These are suitable for mild to moderate skin discomfort but should not be used continuously for prolonged periods.
6. Antihistamines: Medications such as cetirizine hydrochloride tablets or loratadine tablets can block histamine receptors and inhibit mast cell degranulation and histamine release, thereby alleviating allergic symptoms.
Closely monitor changes in allergic symptoms. If the allergic reaction is severe or persists, seek medical attention promptly.
