Neurogenic skin allergy, a complex cutaneous reaction, is primarily characterized by abnormal sensitivity, stinging, burning, itching, and even erythema and papules in the absence of obvious physical irritation or allergen exposure. Symptoms are often triggered indirectly by emotional fluctuations, increased stress, environmental changes, or certain chemical substances, and may vary in severity over time, showing recurrent and unpredictable patterns. This type of allergy not only affects the skin's appearance but also significantly disrupts the patient's quality of life and psychological well-being, frequently accompanied by emotional issues such as anxiety and irritability. Treatment should involve a comprehensive approach including psychological adjustment, avoidance of irritants, use of gentle skincare products, and, when necessary, adjunctive anti-allergy medications to alleviate symptoms and improve quality of life.
