We all have different skin types.  Although some would want to classify the skin into two commonly known categories, dry or oily skin. I believe there is more to skin types. It is also surprising how our skins react to various climatic conditions or to certain chemicals. For example, some people are well adapted to withstand sunny conditions, others just don’t thrive well. Most probably they will start complaining of sunburns. Apart from these obvious skin conditions, allergic reactions to the skin have today become more rampant than before. Especially to ladies. One might blame it on the various supplements and oils they use in their skincare routines. Whatever the case is, these skin allergies can be identified and treated before they get out of hand.

 Symptoms of skin allergies to watch out for

Rashes may be just the most obvious way to identify skin allergies as well as skin related problems like infections.  The good news is; you can easily attend to them with over the counter drugs in form of lotions or ointments. But then again, there are these large lumps that are red in color. They can go from being tiny pimples, to be as large as the size of a dinner plate! These are called Hives. It can literally appear anywhere on your body. They are very irritating as they may cause a burning sensation or itching. It is best to seek medical attention for this particular symptom.

No? well, these are huge red lumps just similar to the hives. The difference is that this time they don’t appear on your skin but underneath it. Urticaria Diagnosis can help identify these lumps easily. So if you notice any swelling on your skin, quickly see a doctor. Moreover, you definitely don’t want Angioedema appearing on your throat and lungs, as it can lead to breathing problems, although this rarely happens.
