Common Questions and Answers about Antihistamine your skin

antihistamine

For about 22years now, I have had this chronic unyielding, head to toe itch with no rash. The only thing that helps is a daily antihistamine. There is no rash or real explanation on what the true trigger is. Doctors think it's in my head. I take a daily allergy pill and have for 22 years.

I wonder how much is absorbed through the skin vs. taking as a pill?

I personally don't take antihistamine but just some advice I read that - antihistamine suppresses the immune system - never thought about it before - they work like steroids - some very good advice on another forum was - do not take antihistamine if you have lyme I am sure some of you already knew this but just thought I would mention it

This could be allergic contact dermatitis. It may be useful to take an antihistamine tablet such as Piriton, available without prescription, in addition to using hydrocortisone. If it doesn't clear up promptly, see your doctor again as hydrocortisone whould not be used on the face for long periods. If you develop any other symptoms such as closing of the airways, difficulty breathing or swelling of the tongue or fingers seek medical advice immediately. Allergic reactions can be serious.

Hi. I am actually a teenager who suspect that I have skin allergy. Whenever I am exposed to cold weather or cold water, my skin will become red and I could feel a burning sensation. Sometimes, my skin will also become itchy and swelling occurs. Also, I have fainted after swimming in a cold water environment. Not only that, I feel that I am going to faint even if I exercise in a warm environment (i.e jogging on the treadmill). At first, I thought that my low-blood pressure causes it.

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.

Cortisone can be used for quick relief and to help your skin heal quick, I would take a shower and put on Cortisone then half way through the day when it would act up I would use Witch Hazel lunch time and before bed. During your shower you can put Coconut Oil on it and then rinse. It Will Help Sooth Your skin. I really hope this helps!
