Dr. Liu Wenmin

Treatment methods for skin allergies:

1. Avoid allergens: It is important to avoid contact with known allergens as much as possible, such as pollen, dust mites, and pet dander, to reduce the occurrence of allergic reactions.

2. Cold compress: When an allergic reaction occurs, applying a cold compress gently to the affected area can help relieve itching and pain and reduce swelling.

Medication: For severe allergic reactions, oral antihistamines or short-term use of systemic corticosteroids may be required to control symptoms.

3. Rest and sleep: Ensure adequate sleep and avoid staying up late or overexertion. Proper rest and relaxation can help alleviate physical and psychological stress, reducing the occurrence of allergic reactions.

4. Sun protection and skin care: Take care to protect your skin from the sun during outdoor activities and avoid irritation from ultraviolet rays. At the same time, choose mild, non-irritating skincare products and avoid over-cleansing or excessive rubbing of the skin.

If symptoms worsen or persist, seek medical attention promptly.
