There are a few things you can do to get rid of skin allergies:
-Avoid triggers. If you know what causes your skin allergy, try to avoid those triggers. For example, if you’re allergic to pollen, stay indoors when the pollen count is high.
-Take antihistamines. Over-the-counter antihistamines can help relieve the itchiness and inflammation associated with skin allergies.
-Apply topical corticosteroids. These are prescription creams or ointments that can help reduce swelling and irritation.
-See a dermatologist. If your skin allergies are severe or don’t respond to home treatment, you may need to see a dermatologist for more specialized care.
