Avatar f tn How do y'all deal with cat allergies?!?!? I've just recently become super allergic to my best friends cat's and I wanna be able to go see her without her cats killing me!!! (or me wanting to kill myself for that matter!) It's really bad, and my eyes, ears, throat, nose and basically whole body have really become anti-cats lately :( What should I do?!?!?! Thanks for the tips and suggestions friends!
Avatar n tn I have this same rash on the same part of my body. Your symptoms present exactly the same as mine. I have cat allergies, but have had a cat for the past year with no problems. However, just a few days before I got this rash, we took in another cat. So I'm thinking it could be allergies that cat. However, when I looked up pictures of the rash online, it looked more like irritant contact dermatitis rather than allergic contact dermatitis.
Avatar m tn t know if this is a heat rash, or if seasonal allergies can do things to the skin as well as sinuses? Does this sound familiar at all? Thank you in advance!
7639611 tn?1392877261 Only a skin test (that tests for cat allergy) will rule out for sure whether it is cat allergy or not. If it is cat allergy, then if you do not take anti-allergic pills, the symptoms will resurface time and again. You can again start the medications (after consulting a doctor) to see if your symptoms subside. Also, you could live away from the cat for a day or two and see if your symptoms improve. However, it would be best to consult a doctor who can examine you.
Avatar m tn ve had an allergy test this is why you know that you are have animal dander allergies. Do you have a dog, cat , bunny or hamster as a pet ? Just wondering. Be well.

Avatar n tn My cat has been sneezing and having nasal discharge for a month now. She has no other symptoms. She plays,she eats well. Just sneezes and has nasal drainage. Her eyes are good. No swollen or runny eyes. Is this allergies? I noticed she usually only sneezes when her nose touches objects or she sniffs. Sometimes mucous comes out with the sneeze.
Avatar n tn What could be causing my sed rate to be elevated and the only symptoms I have is severe eye pain and redness in the eyes
Avatar f tn Allergies aren't hereditary but they can come and go. Some people outgrow allergies and others get them when they are older. My little brother had a lot of allergies when he was a kid (including pet dander) and outgrew them, while I didn't have them as a child but became more prone to them as an adult.
3149845 tn?1506627771 Ive had this rash that started under my ring finger. Very small bumps and gets kinda itchy but not red, kinda has a little center dot on them.. I put some 2.5 % prescription cream and goes away from that area and shows up like an 1/2 inch down on another area. Its like im always chasing it with the cream. My reg doctor says it may be exema. I know i can do to my dermetoligist for a biopsey to find out for sure but does anyone have any idea of what this may be.
Avatar n tn Follwoing sex, masterbation with a toy or by hand I experence hives/ intensely itchy skin in my vaginal area for a period of 15-20 minutes. Also my chest and breasts will have a red rash on them following foreplay also lasting 15-20 mins. I have sensitive skin and welp easily if my skin is rubbed with pressure could this be realted?
203342 tn?1328737207 Actually, being allergic to cat hair of any length is quite rare. The more common cat allergy is to various proteins contained in cat saliva. These proteins can be deposited on hair and skin when the cat grooms itself and then become airborne when hair or dander (dead skins cells are shed. More likely the symptoms are from dust, mold, and other debris that get kicked out into the house when you first few times the central heating system kicks in.
Avatar f tn This has always been confined to my neck to start-could this have to do with my thyroid? I do have allergies that runs in the family and I take a Zyrtec every day for indoor/outdoor allergies. I am being hesitant to run to the doctor for testing as I have health insurance but my deductibles are high and the economy has hit us hard as my husband has owned a real estate company for 25+ years. Any advice would be helpful. The swelling is bad enough that I do wear turtlenecks to cover up.
Avatar f tn Allergies have a genetic basis but not always to the same allergen. Two parents with allergies (50% chance of developing allergies), one parent 30%. It is possible that it is an allergy, however make sure the cat wasn't bathed with anything, I reacted with hives once to the shampoo I used on a puppy at work.
9552239 tn?1404989880 m feeling quite a bit better today for the first time since. I still have very swollen eyes, weird colouring and a very angry hives rash around my neck and jaw. I just want to feel normal again...how long does this go on?
Avatar f tn I flea bombed the house and am still feeling bites. I itch all over and develop bad rash. I have used hydrocortisone cream and antihistamine such as zyrtec and benadryl and had some prednisone on hand and it is the only thing that seems to help. I hope to eradicate the fleas, but in the meantime what can I do to repel them from biting and relieve this itching?
Avatar f tn i have so many symptoms of allergies and my entire head is filled with fluid, i can feel it. i hope all this makes sense, as i cannot possible explain everything i am feeling..but sick of air noise in my right ear, and when i move my head it feels like glands swollen and like someone is pulling at the inside of my ears...left ear usually bothers me more then right, although right ear is the ear with air noise, and sometimes it sounds like a watch ticking or keys hitting together..make sense???
681148 tn?1437661591 And, I have allergies myself and sometimes need a touch of steroid to calm down the worst symptoms, so I thought the same thing would apply to the cat--to use the steroid cream temporarily, to calm down the skin inflammation enough for the skin to heal--then use the Benadryl in the manner that the vet told me after that, as it is a gentle antihistamine. She also said to buy some Zyrtec and give Akira 1/4 tablet each day for her allergies.
Avatar m tn The allergens or triggering factors like dust, fog, pollens etc. can cause the precipitation of these symptoms. These symptoms are exaggerated esp. in winter or cold environment. There is particular neuronal mechanism exists. When ever you are exposed to allergen there will be release of histamine, this is responsible for raised lesions on skin leading to itching. The order may differ from individuals to individuals. You need to identify such allergen and prevent further exposure.
Avatar m tn It appeared again tonight on my throat where my stubble is. I assumed it was my cat at first, but then I got more hives/rash on my upper arms and stomach. I went to lay down and blow the fan on me and discovered my back to be itching. My roommate came in and told me my back was covered in the rash. So once again I'm sitting here naked with a fan blowing on me and calamine lotion. I know you said to avoid the lotion, but I didnt read this until after applying it! But it seems to help...
Avatar n tn Although I am a smoker I had been attributing recent episodes of breathlessness with allergies. Because if my cat had been in my room and I go to bed I will awake coughing with my nostrils closed up so I would get up take Nyquil and go back to sleep. Everytime that would happen during the day if I tried to nap it would always be when the cat was lying near and during the day when the problem would arise I would take Dayquil and my nostril opens and the coughing would cease.
Avatar f tn Ok. I've been having some crazy stuff going on with my health. I will try to keep it short: I've been having these "episodes" of pins/needles feeling in hands and face/head/lips.. swelling of the face and hands.. whole upper body flushing.. fast heart beat.. passing out.. severe stomach pains and diarrhea.. they all happen at once.. the episodes usually last 30 mins to 2 hours.the flushing will last for up to a few days (mainly stays on face/neck/chest).
571042 tn?1271447141 Brock has very sensitive skin, and I have asked about allergies as well. One of his cheeks is always red. The ped. said that one sign of allergies is a rash around the mouth...not just redness, but a splotchy, red rash. I'm assuming it looks darker. We haven't had any issues with allergies to foods.
326352 tn?1310994295 The daugher with the issues just turned 2, was diagnosed with asthma about 6-8 months ago (does breathing treatments regularly with Albuteral). She was allergy tested yesterday and came up with a 4/5 allergy to cats. She has moderate to severe eczema being treated with topical corticosteriods (Elidel, Elocon, something else) and has now been prescribed what is probably the REST of the list of cortocosteroids by the allergist. We've tried Singular in the past, but it made her mean.
