Make-up allergy? or on the skin?
If it's your skin, I recommend using a good moisturizer before applying any makeup. I like the Aloe Soothing Day Cream from the Body Shop. I have dry sensitive skin and it works wonders for me. For makeup, buy products that are hypoallergenic and/or are for sensitive skin. Almay, Neutrogena, and The Body Shop all have good products. Try wearing less makeup too. If this still doesn't help, then you should probably see a dermatologist.
Reply:I think you should use moisturizer the oil or olay one is Hypoallergenic. I have had many allergy issues with my skin but if you look for products that are hypoallergenic they usually work just find. try the L'oeral Powdered Mineral Foundation. It is very light.
Reply:there are many different kinds of makeup and skin care out there and honestly it is hard to choose on, i suggest doing some research i can give you some advise though there is a company called artistry, they do all of there testing on sensitive skin but truly if you feel you really have sensitive skin they have a skin care system specifically designed for sensitive skin types especially for ecanation and rosatia. there products are amazing and artistry is in the top 5 prestige brands of skin care and cosmetics. they also offer a 100% money back guarantee if you are not completely satisfied. i know that it is hard to find a good product out there so do your own research before purchasing. and if you are looking for colors as well like foundations and such artistry also offers these as well again all tested on sensitive skin so as not to irritate ! if you have any questions you can email me at vherr@ltdteam.com or check out these websites to do some research:

Is Differin - Adapalene ever used to treat allergic reactions on the skin?

Please tell me that my allergist is not a big idiot. I just had skin (prick) testing done for allergies. To soother the allergic welts that came up, my allergist puts Defferin on them and gives me samples of it to take home.





I looked on the internet and Differin - Adapalene is an acne medicine that is used to keep pores clear.





Do you use it for skin irritation from allergies too? I would think you would use cortisone ointment for that?





Please enlighten me. Thanks in advance.

All I know is that Differen is for ance.


And it dries the skin out like crazy. {I had to use it}


And it doesn't make sense that he'd use that on your skin for allergies. Maybe go see another doctor?
Reply:They are acne med's. to me it would seem to further agitate your skin and not calm the allergic reaction.





Did your allergist say what you are allergic to?





I would think if you are welting/itching from allergies, to sooth you should use something like a hydrocortisone cream or something similar to what would be used for bug bites, oatmeal soap or aveno type cleanser and allergy meds.





Once you get your allergies in check, via flonase or other allergy combatant you skin will quit reacting.





If your breakout is a superficial allergy meaning, you could be allergic to fragrances in your laundry detergent, your current skin care or make up etc. then switch to non fragrance organic detergent, no fabric softeners and move to a hypoallergenic skincare system with no fragrance in it.





Till you clear, would suggest cleaning your pillow cases at least twice a week in case you are allergic to dust mites, which some people are

What perfume should someone with sensitive skin choose?

I have extremely sensitive skin, along with allergies to some perfumes. I'm in a business where I move a lot, and am currently looking for a perfume whose scent lasts more than a couple minutes. I'd love to find one with the scent of desserts, or at the very least, something really, really fruity. I'm also poor, so I kind of need something inexpensive.





Any recommendations, websites, etc, that can help me with this dilemma?

I would think that would irritate your skin . . I have allergies and couldn't use Diff. to treat acne because its hard on allergic skin. I agree - I would call the doc and ask.


Also - cortisone can be used to help with allergic reactions but don't use it for too long - steroids thin the skin and can cause damage. It's okay to use every now and then, just try not to make a habit of it. Good luck!
Reply:sounds like maybe they made a mistake? I would call and clarify.
Reply:Just go get some Benadryl cream and you will feel better. Or just wait and it will subside.





I doubt that an allergist would have acne stuff on hand for no reason! :)

Is it a skin or blood allergy or what?

my friend has this condition were at night his skin becomes inflammed(similar to the way yur skin will make when u've just had a burn) but it scratches him and it comes out in large and small patches all over his body. in the morning n during the day it not there. his blood type is o+ and he is allergic to medicenes like aspirin so i think these things are all related.

Is it a skin or blood allergy or what?
wow he needs to get to a doctor..... but if it only happens at night in the bed then it could be what you wash your sheets in...... the type of laundry detergent..
Reply:he needs to go to the emergency room to check that out
Reply:if it has anything got to do with blood he needs to be careful a few months ago i had my tonsils taken out,i was recovoring well until i woke up 1 nite i had 2 get sick iended up throwing up blood but tought nothing of it until i went really pale i was sent to hospital and released and i started 2 bleed again and woke up 2 days later with blood and fluids pumped into me i never thought anything of it until i was told i nearly died...get him checked out even if its only minor at least you'll be worry free and can get it treated,if its got to do with blood he could get poisoned and would be very serious then hoped i helped u....
Reply:eczema this has nothing to do with having your tonsils out and then hemorrhaging afterwards

Can an allergy turn a childs skin a purply blue color?

can an allergy turn a childs skin purply blue and make there hands and feet swell


if so what kind of allergy


or what else could it be

Can an allergy turn a childs skin a purply blue color?
It would depend on if they are allergic to something they ate, or washed in etc. It could be a insect bite also. But if they are swelling and turning blue, you need to get them to the ER to be seen b/c it sounds like they are having a severe allegic reaction to something. The next to go is their respiratory then they will be considered to be in anaphylaxis which can be deadly.
Reply:someone could be hitting your kid
Reply:Yes.We have to find out from history and physical examination.
Reply:If your little ones hands and feet are swollen, and his/her skin tone is changing to those colors, you need to get him/her into a clinic right away.


It could be any number of things, but because of the skin tone and swelling, it needs to be looked at now. Not tomorrow or in a week. This is urgent.
Reply:call 911 you idiot and get it to the hospital.
Reply:When ever the child eat check to the ingredients of the food and document his/her reaction. It could be anything that he/she is eating or wearing even smelling. My friend get pink eye if she burn her fire place. You never know.
Reply:It could be eczema.I used to have that bad but it was more of a red color not purple,could just be his is more severe.My brother had what looked like a bruise on his leg one time and they said it was eczema and it cleared after a few weeks of some ointment.If the skin irritations happen close to joints like on the elbows and such then it could be an early sign of Psoriasis to.





Its always best to go for a second opnion but what they told you isn't rediculous.Not all bodies are the same and i would imagine the discoloration of skin from eczema in some will likely be darker than the color of others.Does he have other allergy symptoms? Lots of sinus problems? itching or flaking scalp that seems chronic and not just like normal dandruff? Brocitus (Asthma)? red itchy eyes at time? If he has alot of these other things then the skin thing very well could just be another of many allergy symptoms.Eczema usually flakes though.It starts as skin discoloration then seems to work its way to the surface and causes scaling and flaking around the area before it heals (often coming back in the exact same area where it was before).If you don't see flaking it could be something else.





My nephew was born with severe eczema and his elbows and knees and parts of his feet always are dark red and sometimes almost bruise colored on bad days.If that sounds liek your boy he could be the same.The biggest worry isn't what you see its what you don't see.Like it could be a sign he has chronic allergies and some foods can cause bad reactions or even death if real severe.So best to find out fast if its allergies and do testing to seat what foods he's most allergic to.My nephew almost died eating kethcup,he can't have any tomato product (or beef) we found out the hard way with an emergency room visit.
Reply:Yes, if the child is not getting enough oxygen. Allergies can cause asthma, swelling, vomitting, diarrhea, rashes, etc.....





Could be an allergy to anything. You need to find a pediatric allergist and have your child tested immediately.

I have have dogs w/food allergies. The food from the vet is expensive. Does any one know of a cheaper food?

8mo. labs. although uncommon this early in there life, they suffer from skin and food allergies. I got them from amish puppy mill and have been committed to giving them a good home. I currently have them on Hills prescription diet from there vet. I was wondering if any body else dealt with this and found a cheaper brand or idea. They are also fatty acid supplement. They are really great dogs.

I have have dogs w/food allergies. The food from the vet is expensive. Does any one know of a cheaper food?
my lucy is the same way shes allergic to corn and wheat. so i feed her nutro its all healthy no bi-products in it...and most grocery brands are packed with bi-products. At petco i buy a 25lb bag for about 23$ its pricey but far less expensive than the vets! also cooked chicken without the skin and fat is a good treat! good luck....
Reply:you haven't said what exactly they are allergic to. But I gave my dog brown rice and cooked turkey meat (the stuff that comes in a 'roll' like a big fat sausage?), then you can add the supplements they need to take. Much cheaper than 'specialist' dog food.
Reply:Go to a Pet Store such as Petsmart or Petco-take with you a can of the Hills prescription diet and then once in the store go to a employee or Manager and explain why you have a can of dog food-perhaps they can help you check the CONTENTS of your food against the Contents of the foods they have if not you'll have to---Hill is I believe Science Diet-check also Authority-but the Contents must be exactly.Since dogs are Carnivorous ask your vet if you can prepare food like chicken-a package of cutup chicken approx $4.or Beef Meat from Butcher. Boiled Brown rice or White rice can you in between feed Homemade, give a Multi Vitamin and the fatty acid supplement(Vit E,Fish oil,flax oil?) You can probably take the Fatty Acid supplement go to a Health Food store and get the exact same ingredients in a Fatty acid supplement chl the amount too but cheaper--perhaps you can feed homemade 1 day and the vet Food the next day if you can't find cheaper food and since prescription doubt it----but bet you can get list from VET that you can buy from store esp Meat-a dogs main requirement, and intersperse with canned. Hope this helps
Reply:you may want to try puppy chow/food





i'm no vet and i didn't have a dog - but was told the same thing about my cat who had the same symptoms.





i decided i couldn't afford to pay more for my cat's diet than my own so i called all the animal food companies looking for a less costly alternative. Eukanuba was one but it made my cat vomit. Finally i found someone at the Purina company who told me there was no such thing as an 'allergy free' animal food - what allergy free means is that the food is 'highly digestible' he told me to give the highly digestable kitten chow a try.





i did. that along with nixing his plastic bowl for glass worked. in fact it kept him 'allergy' free and alive for 18 years.





another alternative was to feed them a combination of cooked rice, cooked hamberger, cooked chicken. and cottage cheese.
