Skin allergy treatment

Rashes, hives and itchy skin are common skin problems associated with allergies. Skin problems that are allergy-related may be caused by allergens in the air that you’ve breathed, substances that have come into contact with your skin and food(s) that you have eaten. Symptoms of an allergy-related condition include swollen, scaly, itchy, cracking, blistering or red skin. These skin problems are often caused by an immune system reaction, signifying an allergy. If you have any skin allergy symptoms, look to Dr. Iraklis C. Livas. As a board-certified and fellowship-trained allergist and immunologist, Dr. Livas is an expert when it comes to solving skin allergy problems.

Types of allergy-related skin conditions

Dr. Livas can accurately diagnose and effectively treat the full spectrum of allergy-related skin conditions, including:
• Atopic dermatitis (severe, chronic eczema)
• Contact dermatitis (poison ivy, nickel allergy, cosmetic reactions)
• Hives • Summer skin rashes • Reactions from the sun
• Latex allergy • Insect bite rashes
Your face, neck, hands and arms come in contact with so many substances every day that they are the most common sites for an allergic skin reaction, but no part of your anatomy is immune. The allergen can be a substance in a product that you’ve used for months or even years – it doesn’t have to be from a new product.
