eczema medication allergies

I'm 15 weeks along, and my allergies are killing me right now. I can barely breathe and look like I've been crying for days. I know that Benadryl is safe during pregnancy but that stuff knocks me out and the rest of my day is shot... Any suggestions on what other allergy medication is safe to take? That won't make me drowsy?

Hello, This itchy rash can be allergic reaction , eczema which is often precipitated by allergies or some chronic skin disease. You can take some OTC oral antihistamine medications like Benadryl or Claritin and see if it helps. For mild-moderate symptoms a weak steroid may be used, whilst more severe cases require a higher-potency steroid. But they are available under prescription and should be taken only after consulting a dermatologist. Symptoms can be exacerbated by dryness of the skin.

Me and my dad both have moderate/severe eczema since we were under the age of one, turns out we both have severe allergies. My friend has severe eczema, but claims she has no allergies. My question is : is eczema always caused by allergies?

Okay..since I've been pregnant my eczema has flared up and is extremely uncomfortable. ... does anyone know of any safe remedies I could use?

my daughter has eczema could not work it out what allergies are. What maight be the cause and how we could be treating for existing eczema. we are under homeoepathy and medical treatment now.

I'm not an expert but my 2yr old son has eczema. he had it as an infant so I changed our clothes detergent to a hypo-allergenic or sensitive one as well as his nappy wipes. when he was 1 I gradually introduced normal soaps & detergents. he was fine for a few mths but then it came back worse. I now only use hypo-allergenic detergent & use skin cream during summer as it flares up during the hotter period.

ve been in Oz, living by the beach for almost 3 months and been having bad eczema and even worse allergies...I thought it might be sun allergies as it gets worse a few hours after sun exposure...So now I've stayed away from the sun but still had a bad episode of itching & scratching last night again... Perhaps from a glass of red wine? Or is it pityriasis rosea? I went to see a GP in Sydney but got some antihistamine tablets and Advantan cream - neither is helping!

The doctor yesterday told me that they suspect eczema so that is a possibility. possibly the medication is the irritant? anyways., thank you again!

I have really great, smooth skin with one exception; I have patches of eczema that keep growing. I know I'm not supposed to scratch but sometimes its excruciating. I am currently on a steroid cream (triamcinalone) to clear it up and it does, but is there anything I can do to prevent future flair ups?

Am on steroid inhalers. I have various allergies- dust, food, sometimes even environmental (caves) i also have eczema around my mouth and it is causing me to have an obvious ring of darker pigmentation. I realise that my eczema gets worse when i get my allergies, it starts with the skin around my mouth getting gradually itchy, sometimes with vesicle fomation on my lips, and the next day my eczema gets worse and my mouth would look darker than usual.

In eczema patients respond to food triggers. Eczema can make allergy testing difficult. In people with eczema and food allergies, strictly avoiding food allergens may help reduce or, occasionally, eliminate symptoms. The most common food triggers for eczema are eggs, milk, peanuts, soy, and wheat. Among these, eggs are probably associated the most strongly with eczema.

He was about 2 months old when that came about so we are managing that with Aveeno products and cortisone cream when it is really bad. I know that eczema and allergies can go hand in hand. I have asthma and allergies, however no food allergies. My question is, if he doesn't get any of the milk on his skin he doesn't have any apparent reactions to it. If it is only a local reaction to contact, do you still feel it is an allergy? If so, should I go ahead and put him on soy milk?

I am having the same problem. It's true that metal allergies aggravate eczema, as my cousins can attest to from their growing up years, but different foods can aggravate the problem, too. I looked online for foods to avoid with eczema and I was able to identify another culprit for me besides gluten. The other common one is dairy. Many sites also say to avoid the high glycemic grains and vegetables. I am certain in my own case it must be dairy.

ve had allergy related eczema my entire life, and after 10 years of allergy shots my eczema is ridiculously better than it was. Now the only thing that my eczema really bothers me with is the extreme itchiness I get when I get hot or warm. I have a fan pointing at me nearly at all times at home otherwise I get uncomfortable. I get extremely irritable when hot and am prone to heat induced rage. How do I keep cool or how to keep myself from feeling that itch.

I have had puffy,swollen eyelids for months-ever since the day after my gallbladder surgery months ago. I have tried to go weeks without makeup (it only got worse), I've cut out all sorts of foods in case it was an allergy, I'm taking allergy medication (Reactin, Allegra) and started also trying Benedryl. I've changed my detergent for laundry, soaps, hair products-everything.

Are there any known allergies in the family? Does your child have any previous history of allergies in the family? Just continue with the fluocinonide if the skin conditions appear to be controlled by the medication. Eczematous skin conditions may be recurrent and they persist for quite some time.

Any good treatment for eczema? 20wks today. Really suffering a lot. Tried Alpha Keri and QV intensive care but its not working. Help please....

I have a question about allergies. I am not currently on any medication. I always had pretty bad seasonal allergies and had been on an allegy medication of some kind or another for a good part of the year for many years. Since I started noticing all of my strange symptoms, about 2 years ago, my allergies disappeared. I can breathe through my nose better now than I ever could and feel great as far as allergies go.

The reason why one might, over time, develop more and/or more severe allergies. The same can be said of Eczema although medical experts now have a much greater understanding of the mechanism of this disease and its treatment. That you have been patch tested suggests that you are under the care of an allergist or dermatologist. The first step should be to speak with your physician to determine if he/she has exhausted all diagnosis/treatment efforts and if Eczema is the correct diagnosis.
