What should I do for skin allergy and swelling?

Treatment methods for skin allergies accompanied by swelling: 1. Avoid irritation: First, avoid further contact with potential allergens, and discontinue using any cosmetics or skincare products that may irritate the skin. 2. Cold compress for relief: Gently apply a cold compress to the swollen area to help constrict blood vessels and reduce swelling and itching. 3. Medication: Take oral antihistamines or other anti-allergy medications to relieve allergic symptoms. Additionally, apply topical anti-allergy creams, such as hydrocortisone cream, to further alleviate skin discomfort. Closely monitor changes in allergy symptoms; if symptoms persist or worsen, or if other discomforts arise, seek medical attention promptly.
