Alcohol allergy itching
Common Questions and Answers about Alcohol allergy itching
alcohol
I asked for help on here a couple weeks ago for my alcohol intolerance/allergy. The first couple of times I ever drank I my forearms would swell up and break out in hives and itch very badly. I haven't gotten the hives in a while but my forearms still swell up and itch. Someone on here told me that I should take an antihistamine such a levocetrizine or cetrizine. I took 1 Zyrtec and I felt fine for a couple of hours but my arms eventually swelled up and started to itch again.
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. Worms are another cause of both anal and body itch and hence get a stool test.
Menopause is another reason for this. Low estrogens are supposed to be the cause. Try a diet rich in estrogens.
s eventually feel a bit better. I take prescribed allergy meds daily, but still the itching gets intense.
Has anyone else experienced allergic reactions to their sh "tools" of the trade? If so, how do you treat the area's to prevent the itching from getting out of hand to the point of infection?
Thank you.
Last night I had a terrifying experience. Now to preface, I traveled to Ireland- have drank Guinness for years. I'm 42 years old. Never had any issue with any alcohol or allergies (except to cat hair- but I would just have itchiness when around them). No food/ no medication allergies. Yesterday, after skipping lunch I had a fast food hamburger and coke (nothing new- had for years) for dinner on my way out for the night.
A few hours later my boyfriend complained of having a burning penile rash, which I assumed was from an allergy to the Metronidizale. He went to the hospital and got a cream for it. Now, several days later, he says its "better" but still complains of being raw. He also did bizarre stuff like apply alcohol to his penis.
Have you heard of such an allergic reaction. What can we do now?
It definitely sounds like you could have some type of allergy to alcohol! I have a friend who has very similar symptoms after drinking but his normally starts within about 6 hours of having a couple of drinks. Alcohol allergies at some level is surprisingly more common than most people think.
My advice, talk to your Dr. about it just to make sure its nothing more serious ie: liver issues.
Good luck!
My face is the only part of my body that never broke out. Itched sometimes. But because the face is oily, is doesn't usually dry unless you use soap on it. Do you?
Use just a cotton wash cloth on your face.
Strange thing is that many times when I touch my allergens with my hands, instead of my hands itching, I itch somewhere else on my body totally unrelated, and thus one would never know it was caused from what the hands were touching. Often the itch is on my torso and lower legs.
The number 1 sign of liver disease if yellowing of the whites of the eyes and the skin.
He could be inching from and allergy to something, has their been any change in laundry soap lately?
Check for the yellowing on your father, if he has any signs of that just take him to the hospital. They have charity programs that can help, or if he needs if asap there is emergency medical coverege through most state welfare agencies.
My parents have 2 malteses that I'm taking care of at the moment. They've been itching themselves for about a week now. They'd constantly turn and scratch with their hind legs and lick their paws. It's clear that somethings bothering them. On their skin are rashes. They look like splotches of red dots in random places. I'm wondering what this could be. Or if it could be contagious to humans.
These are given along the the nerve line to decrease the inflamation 2-3 times a year. The last 3 times, I developed an itching and minor rash at each injection site. My doctor couldn't figure out what d was causing the problem. I just had cataract laser surgery & was given Prednisone drops. My eye started itching along the inner & outer sides & lids & the lower lid swelled a bit. I began getting the same type of rash on the outer side of the eye where the drops would leak.
