Skin allergy, commonly referred to as allergic dermatitis, may manifest symptoms such as rash, itching, and swelling. The following medications can be taken: 1. Cetirizine Hydrochloride Tablets: These are systemic antihistamines that can be used to treat allergies caused by various factors. Administration of this medication can effectively alleviate symptoms of skin allergy. 2. Loratadine Tablets: This medication is an antihistamine that can be used to relieve symptoms and signs of chronic urticaria, pruritic dermatological conditions, and other allergic skin diseases. 3. Chlorpheniramine Maleate Tablets: This is an anti-allergy medication primarily used to treat skin allergies such as urticaria, eczema, drug rash, neurodermatitis, and solar dermatitis. It can also be used to treat allergic rhinitis. 4. Diphenhydramine Hydrochloride Tablets: This medication is primarily used to treat allergic reactions of the skin and mucous membranes, such as urticaria, dermatographism, and drug rash. 5. Promethazine Hydrochloride Tablets: Promethazine hydrochloride is a phenothiazine antihistamine generally used in treating allergies of the skin and mucous membranes.
