How do you cure a skin allergy?

Stay indoors with the windows closed when pollen counts are high. Use an air-conditioner even in the car and clean the filter regularly.





Eliminate carpets and use furniture slipcovers that can be washed. Encase mattresses and pillows in allergy-proof covers and wash bedding weekly in very hot water. Dust mites collect in these areas.





Clean damp areas to prevent the growth of mold.





Certain herbs are natural antihistamines.


Try sipping teas made from anise, ginger, or peppermint singly or in combination.


Ginger and peppermint also have a decongestant effect. Drink up to four cups a day as needed to reduce symptoms.





Wash bedding in very hot water (130�F) to kill the dust mites that accumulate and trigger allergic reactions or add eucalyptus oil to a warm-water wash. Mix 2 ounces oil with 1 ounce liquid dishwashing detergent (otherwise the oil will separate from the water). In the washer presoak the bedding in this mixture for half an hour; then put in your usual laundry detergent and run the laundry cycle as you normally do.





Quercetin : 500 mg twice a day. Use 20 minutes before meals; often sold with vitamin C.





Nettle : 250 mg 3 times a day on an empty stomach. Standardized to contain at least 1% plant silica.





Vitamin A: 10,000 IU a day. Women who are pregnant or considering pregnancy should not exceed 5,000 IU a day.





Vitamin C: 1,000 mg 3 times a day. Reduce dose if diarrhea develops.





Pantothenic Acid: 500 mg 3 times a day. Take with meals.

How do you cure a skin allergy?
Go to your Dr who may recommend a skin specialist. He can give you something to keep your allergy under control.
Reply:First you find out what's causing it and eliminate it from your life.


Then, until it goes away try soaking the area in warm water and, while it's still damp, apply aloe vera gel. REAL aloe vera gel, not the products that have other things in them.


Do this twice a day.


The water will hydrate the area and the aloe will create a clear barrier between it and the environment.

Reply:there's no cure. I'v been having this problem for the last 5 yrs and all my dermie tells me is to continue taking antihistamine on a daily basis. For me, there's rash appearing in patches but mostly, no itch - usually the rash disappears within an hour when I rub with tap water
Reply:There is no cure for an allergy. The best thing to do is to avoid whatever it is you are allergic to. Treatment for allergies would be antihistamines like Benadryl (but this can make you sleepy). Benadryl also makes a cream you can rub on. Sometimes if the allergy is really bad you may need to take steroids for a while or use steroidal cream.
