itchy skin food allergy

It could also be due to new soap, talcum powder, clothes etc. You must get an allergy test done, either a skin test or RAST, to know what you are allergic to. Fungal infections like tinea corporis and tinea cruris too cause whole body itching along with genital itching. Liver problems too can cause generalized itching. If the itch is only in the exposed part, it can also be due to sun allergy. Pubic and body lice can be another cause.

Itchy skin is not necessarily due to an allergy. It is a hallmark of liver disease, among other disorders. You need a full in-person work-up by a primary care physician.

you could be experiencing a food allergy. These typically cause red itchy hives to spread all throughout your body for 12-24 hours. If the problems go away, then you're fine, if not, see a dermatologist at your earliest convinence. In the meantime, try using some type of lotion that can provide itching relief since it can be bothersome.

m wondering if it could be a food allergy? I am feeding him IAMS puppy food and have been thinking about switching to something all natural. Any ideas?

It sounds like the antihistamine may be drying your skin or possibly you have allergy skin. You may have a food allergy contributing to your allergies. You could try eliminating common offenders, such as milk, soy, wheat, citrus, etc.

Food allergy can start after eating the same food for years, and it does not matter if its a premium or holistic diet or not.

I have been having like spots that are very itchy. The skin around them is red and the itch is intense. They are different size and the biggest is about 2 cm wide. They started to appear on the legs then the forearms, the elbows and now on my back. I have them on the same part of the body. Meaning I have some on the inside of my left and right calves for example. Same on the outside of my left and right thighs. After a hot bath they weep.

Food allergy causes eczema, it leaves an itchy skin, steroid cream creates a dark skin, share your experiences to solve itchy skin I'm having.

Both flea allergy and food allergy can cause itching and secondary bacterial skin infections, and your veterinarian can evaluate your dog to see if antibiotics are indicated. It only takes one flea to cause a reaction, so be sure to continue to use the Frontline Plus on her and any other pets every month.

A month ago, I got these little red dots on my back and stomach. they're really itchy. suddenly, they've transferred into my arms and legs. after sometime they're gone, my skin became "chicken skin". and now when I feel itchy and scratched my legs, red itchy bumps will appear. They're like mosquito bites. But when I stop scratching, they will be gone after few minutes. What could these be?

Am taking one Allegra in the AM and one Zrytec at night for about 3 days. The itchy rashes are a big annoyance. I have been allergy tested for food and have no food allegies. Any suggestions?

Primary problems include mites, such as scabies and demodex, flea allergy dermatitis, food allergy dermatitis, ringworm, atopy (environmental allergies), and others. If your dog becomes itchy from one or more of the above and scratches and bites the areas, bacteria and moisture (from his mouth) are introduced into those areas. The bacteria causes a secondary pyoderma (bacterial skin infection), and the moisture sets up the right environment for a yeast pyoderma (yeast skin infection).

The most common reasons for itchy skin in dogs include skin infections, microscopic skin parasites such as scabies mites, food allergy, or pollen/dust allergies. Since scabies mites are difficult to find, I trial treat dogs for scabies with Revolution every 2 weeks for 3 treatments. If skin infection is present, it is treated with antibiotics for 3-4 weeks and mild antibacterial shampoos.

s been developing rashes behind the ears, around the mouth,and in the belly area.... not fun! itchy! anyways, What medicine is good? I took him to the doc, so they gave him a shot and prelone, and a cream fo rthe itching...he's getting better.. Thanks.

I have avoided eating prone to allergy food however, this thing just suddenly pops up on my body again. What will I do?

The itch is intense and even more so when I rub the skin. The skin gets red around the scabs at the end of the day. Taking a shower is an ordeal. It's really hard not to scratch and so I just rub the scabs but there's no relief. They are spreading and there's nothing working. I mean the creams against itchiness work when I apply them but the scabs are not getting less itchy nor less small afterwards. I have scabs of all sizes and it's started over a month ago.

The thing that is odd is how dramatically the texture of the skin affected changes. It is not just swollen and itchy, a lot of small lines and wrinkles form that are not there when whatever this is goes away. Strange & uncomfortable. I very much appreciate your taking the time to reply.

As allergic reactions are IgE mediated, blood tests will show increase in these levels secondary to a food allergy. The problem with the food allergy testing is sometimes the amount of food they challenge with may be not sufficient to elicit any allergic reactions.

I took antihistamines and topical cortisone cream. My skin is now extremely dry and very itchy and it feels like itchy pin pricks all over. No answers from dermatologists or allergists. I've been moisturizing a lot but still nothing is helping. Any idea? Need help.

I recommend starting by taking your dog to your veterinarian for assessment of the itch and medication recommendations. The most common reasons for itchy skin in dogs include skin infections, microscopic skin parasites such as scabies or demodex mites, food allergy, or pollen/dust allergies. The red spots and hairloss/swelling of the foot the you describe are suspicous for a bacterial skin infection.

This test involves pricking, scratching or injecting food extracts into the patient’s skin. The skin will react with redness and swelling for those extracts capable of eliciting an allergic reaction when consumed.Other tests used are blood tests like RAST and food challenge tests. Now pls take an over the counter antihistaminic like benadryl or Claritin.Pls see that benadryl causes drowsiness,so you can take zyrtec or Claritin if you want.

he has an allergy related skin condition (Urticaria Pigmentosa), seasonal allergies, and food allergies (tree nuts only). He takes the adult dosage of Zyrtec daily and uses Flonase to keep some of the allergies under control. Because of all of these allergies, I assumed the tongue issue would also be allergy related (the allergy specialist disagrees though). We have also tried Benadryl to no avail. He hasn't had a decent night's sleep in weeks.

Many fruits, wheat, sea food, coloring agents, preservatives in food etc cause food allergy and throat sensitivity too. There are various tests designed to test for food allergy. You need to take those tests too. It could also be due to acid reflux disease and acidity. Hope these tips help. Do discuss these possibilities with your doctor. You should consult an allergy specialist for this. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
