Allergic skin diseases can be treated with topical or oral medications, as prescribed by a physician.
1. **Topical medications**: Allergic skin conditions often present with pruritus (itching) or rashes; treatment may include topical calamine lotion or boric acid solution.
2. **Oral medications**: Antihistamines—such as loratadine—may be prescribed to alleviate pruritus. If secondary bacterial infection occurs, antibiotics should also be administered.
