Everything im looking up is telling me about food allergies, Skin irritants. but is nothing like that. She normally at night sometimes in the day has A werid snezzing noise, but it sounds like what a person would sound like if there nose was stuffed. And i always give her a baby benydly and it seems to work. Has anybody ever heard of a dog allergy like this?
I think my dog has allergies but im not sure.?
If you don't know what is causing the allergies than you need to take the dog to a vet. You can give the dog Benadryl but make sure you get him the right dose because it can hurt dogs in excess. Also, I would not give it to the dog every day by any means. It could be an upper respiratory infection if he has a coughing type of thing or sounds like he has fluid in his lungs. He needs to see a vet.
How much does the dog weigh? If it below 30 pounds give 10mg. If it's 30-50 pounds give 25mg. If it's above 50 pounds give 50mg. Also, only use regular Benadryl.
Reply:Yes
the dog can have all kinds of allergies just like a human can, yes there are food and skin but there can also be things to do with the atmosphere, my Dog is allegergic to Grass esp. grass cuttings, this is not an uncommon thing and can be sorted quite easiliy.
The best thing that you can do is visit your local vet, they will point u in the coorect direction in what it actually is.
If your dog gets groomed at a proffesianal groomers you could always ask what shampoo they use or beuity products, this could also be one of the problems.
hope any of this helps . kookie050687

Summer is fun but my problem is when its a hot a have an skin allergy especially in my face its very etching.?
Most of the times exposing ourselves to the sun does this... you should avoid using poducts formulatted with mineral oil, animal prooducts or fragrances which all these ingredients are very harmfull for our skin.. Mineral oil is the 2nd worse thing we could do to our skins health for it is like rubbing car oil on our skin and exposing ourselfes to the sun, animal products come from dead animals and these come from rendering plants these plants pick all dead animal and dead animal parts (from meat houses, etc.) and they put it in a huge pot, squash everything and boils it, what ever comes to the top is the oil other companies use to elaborate thier products, gross I know...the lipstick... ewww anyway, that is why i use Arbonne which are botanically based products and way much better because they get absorbed and the nutrients inside the products is what helps our skin look and feel healthy...they are not sold in stores, i buy them online at: http://arbonnepuertorico.myarbonne.com under shop online and you could even ask for a sample , anyway it is a great way to buy becasue they have this money back guarantee if for some reason there is something you do not like from the products you get your money back guarantee (within 45 days from purchase) so you have nothing to loose, only the etching ;~)

I'm sorry to hear that. Etching is a serious problem. I've heard that after etching you me feel a sensation of itching, but you should avoid scratching your etching, as you may damage the finish...............
Reply:Try an antihistamine. Either an over-the-counter or prescription medication should do the trick. Antihistamins stop the histamin reaction that is causing the itching in the first place. Another thing you can do is go see an allergist. An allergist is a doctor that specializes in allergies and he/she will test your skin to tell you what you're allergic to and help you fight the reaction.

I have a friend who is suffering from erythema multiforme....any info about this skin allergy?
any info on how to prevent erythema multiforme
I have a friend who is suffering from erythema multiforme....any info about this skin allergy?
My friend's son had this when he was about 2 YOA. It can be very scary and very scary looking. He (my friend's son) literally woke one morning with circular patches that looked like bruises-all over his body.
She flipped out when she saw him-when he woke up. (It looked like he had been beaten severely) She then brought him over to my house and asked what to do. I told her if she didn't bring him to the ER asap-I was gonna call 911.
She brought him to the hospital and he wound up having Erythema multiforme.
This condition can be brought on by a number of different things. Infections can bring it on. So can allergies to different things.
What I imagine your friend's DR would do-is give your friend Benadryl to help with the itching and help the immune system calm down, oral steroids to help the immune system and to help swelling, and anitbiotics to prevent any infections associated with this.
The severity of this condition can vary largely. It can be mild and your friend can stay at home and take the medications for it and be fine. It can also be very, very serious requiring some people to go to burn units for treatment.
Hope this helps. God Bless you and your friend.
Here's what Medline has to say about this.....
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++...
Alternative names
Lyell's syndrome; Stevens-Johnson syndrome; Toxic epidermal necrolysis
Definition:
Erythema multiforme is a skin disorder resulting from an allergic reaction.
Causes, incidence, and risk factors:
Erythema multiforme is a type of hypersensitivity (allergic) reaction that occurs in response to medications, infections, or illness. Medications associated with erythema multiforme include sulfonamides, penicillins, barbiturates, and phenytoin. Associated infections include herpes simplex and mycoplasma infections.
The exact cause is unknown. The disorder is believed to involve damage to the blood vessels of the skin with subsequent damage to skin tissues. Approximately 90% of erythema multiforme cases are associated with herpes simplex or mycoplasma infections. The disorder occurs primarily in children and young adults.
Erythema multiforme may become noticeable with a classic skin lesion, with or without systemic (whole body) symptoms. In Stevens-Johnson syndrome, the systemic symptoms are severe and the lesions are extensive, involving multiple body areas, especially the mucous membranes. Toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN syndrome, or Lyell's syndrome) involves multiple large blisters (bullae) that coalesce, followed by sloughing of all or most of the skin and mucous membranes.
Symptoms:
Multiple skin lesions:
With sudden onset, which may recur
That may spread
That may appear as nodule, papule, or macule
Central lesion surrounded by concentric rings of paleness and redness, also called "target", "iris", or "bull's eye"
May have vesicles and bullae (blisters of various sizes)
Located on the legs, arms, palms, hands, or feet
May involve the face or lips
Trunk is usually not involved
Usually symmetrical
Itching of the skin may be present
Fever
General ill feeling
Joint aches
Additional symptoms that may be associated with this disease:
Vision abnormalities
Dry eyes
Bloodshot eyes
Eye pain
Eye burning, itching and discharge
Mouth sores
Signs and tests:
The diagnosis is primarily based on the appearance of the skin lesion and its typical symmetrical distribution, especially if there is a history of risk factors or associated diseases.
There may be a positive Nikolsky's sign.
A skin lesion biopsy and microscopic examination may be helpful to differentiate erythema multiforme from other disorders. Erythema multiforme may show tissue death and other changes. Microscopic examination of the tissue may also show antibody deposits.
Treatment:
Treatment goals include control of the underlying causes or illnesses, treatment of the symptoms, and prevention of infection. Suspected medications should be discontinued.
Treatment of mild symptoms may include:
Moist compresses applied to skin lesions
Medications such as antihistamines to control itching
Over-the-counter medications (such as acetaminophen) to reduce fever and discomfort
Topical anesthetics (especially for mouth lesions) to ease discomfort that interferes with eating and drinking
Treatment of severe symptoms may include:
Hospitalization and treatment in an intensive care or burn care unit for severe cases, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, and toxic epidermal necrolysis
Systemic corticosteroids to control inflammation
Intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIG) to stop the process
Antibiotics to control secondary skin infections
Good hygiene and isolation from others may be required to prevent secondary infections.
Extensive skin involvement may cause the loss of large quantities of body fluids, causing shock in addition to the risk of infection. Intensive care with support of body systems may be required.
Skin grafting may be helpful in cases in which large areas of the body are affected.
In cases that are caused by the herpes virus, daily antiviral medications may be prescribed to prevent recurrences of erythema multiforme.
Expectations (prognosis):
Mild forms of erythema multiforme usually resolve without difficulty in 2 - 6 weeks, but they may recur. More severe forms may be difficult to treat. Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis are associated with high death rates.
Complications:
Permanent skin damage and scarring
Occasionally, lesions on internal organs causing:
Pneumonitis (lung inflammation)
Myocarditis (heart inflammation)
Nephritis (kidney inflammation)
Hepatitis (liver inflammation)
Secondary skin infection (cellulitis)
Systemic infection, sepsis
Loss of body fluids, shock
Go to the emergency room or call the local emergency number (such as 911) if symptoms indicate erythema multiforme. Involvement of a large area of the body is an emergency situation.

How can I get rid of my 4 yr old's skin allergy (dryness) below the nostrils?
Put Vasaline on the area at night when he is sleeping, do it for a couple of nights and it should go away.
How can I get rid of my 4 yr old's skin allergy (dryness) below the nostrils?
really thin layer of vasaline below his nose should help but if that doesent work go see a skin doctor about it
Reply:I highly recommend Aquaphor which you can find in the lotion aisle and in the baby section. It works great on cracked/dry skin.
Reply:There are many ways to heal this. You can use vasiline, carmex, or any lip mousturizer(chapstick, lip balm, etc.). Put it on once in the morning, before school, once or twice in the afternoon, and once before bed. Repeat this cycle for about a week or two and your childs dryness will be solved and very soft. If it does happen again, repeat the cycle.
This should help!

It is always the Best to Try to Treat the SOURCE of the Disease Vs it's Symptoms.
Thus said...
Have your 4 yr old Tested for FOOD ( IgE %26amp; IgG4 )and environmental IgE ALLERGY.
My guess is that if his Dry Skin nose is this prevelent ..
There is a Greated Allergy Issue at Hand....
does he exhibit Asthma Symptoms .. if so...
it's Allergic Asthma...
It's Very Important to Address /Neutralize Mild to Severe ALLERGY as soon as possible before it migrates to a Worse Condtion / Patient gets Older.

What is the best OTC (over the counter) medicine for a skin allergy?
I have have good results with neoclarityn
What is the best OTC (over the counter) medicine for a skin allergy?
everyone reacts to something differently and its also according to what the allergy is.
Reply:benedryl.
Reply:Coritzone 10 Maximum strength
Reply:First try to determine what the heck caused your reaction and remove it/ get away from it. Take a bath with an Aveeno oatmeal packet to soften and smooth your skin. Use a hydrocortisone cream. Cetaphil cream works wonders too. On small sores you can dab a tiny amount of tea tree oil.
Reply:benadryl
Reply:Benadrly or the store-brand equivelent. There is a liquid form and a lotion. The lotion helps when there is severe itching. I would take it along with the liquid.

What would be the best medicine that could remove my skin allergy marks,it looks ugly and makes me feel to shy
Any and all skin creams take time to get rid of the red and itch. From the dermatoligist they can give you the cream as well as a cortizone shot. The shot will clear it up almost right away but you can't get it a lot so be careful when you choose to get one. In between times and while you are waiting for the creams and lotions to work use a cover up stick. you can find it in practially any store that sells make up.

Go to www.Skinstore.com to find products that can help. I have atopic dermatitis so I know what it's like to have scarred skin. My all time favorite thing to use is Kinerase Lotion or Cream,but it is very expensive.It costs $117 for a 2 month supply. I am currently using Skinceuticals Phyto+ Correct Gel for hyperpigmantation;it's gentle to the skin and it costs $68 for a 2-3 month supply. But you need to be patient'these products start showing results in a month.And you should be using a sunblock or high-numbered sunscreen.

Is pulmicot allergic to kids? 4 yr old kid developed skin allergy. cud this be due to the medicine?
This is a very important and useful report especially for yourself and your precious family. I used to have a serious allergic symptoms but after I switched those household toxic products to safe, non-toxic products all the symptoms (respiraotry allergy, skin problems...) were gone away forever. Taking a reference to this report if you switch your toxic products to safe products not having those toxic chemical ingredients it will help you and your family health real big time! Please do not think that would be a too much work for you to check all the ingredients! That's for you and your family. Even just switching a laundry detergent can affect your health considerably. (Actually I have a few people who survived from cancer by not using those chemical products for their house work, laundry, cleaning, dish washing... anymore, seriously) So if you want you can download the report free without putting in any of your personal information, here:
http://wood.euleesway.com/toxicreport.ht...
and if there is anybody who you think is using too much chemical (toxic) products or having a serious allergy problem please send this report to them, too.
I hope it will be a big help for you and your family.
