before, i had a medical check-up, the doctor diagnosed it as fungus but the said fungus was recurring. i later found out that it isn't fungus but skin allergy. the affected area is very itchy and before i couldn't sleep because of severe itchiness. right now, it is still itchy but i won't touch it because it will just effect to sleepless nights because of itchiness. the doctor said before that I am not allowed to perspire because it will just trigger the itchiness more but that was the same doctor who diagnosed me with fungus "infection"%26lt;-i'm not sure with this term. anyway, does this perspiring also applies to skin allergies?
Can exercising worsen the itching when you have skin allergies caused by perfume?
Skin contact with perfumes can cause a reaction like a rash. Especially when exposed to the sun. When you sweat the pores on the skin open wider and this causes more irritation. So any sweating will cause more discomfort.
Avoid using any type of cologne until the rash disappears completely. Then to avoid recurrence spray the air at clothing level and step into the cologne. This will give you the cologne scent yet, not irritate the skin.
I also have a problem with colognes. Expensive or cheap I will break out wherever the cologne touches my skin. I use the walk through spray application and do not have a problem.
Reply:Thank you! Report It
Reply:Probably, as we sweat when we exercise which would be aggravating your skin further.
Reply:Yes, even for a skin allergy perspiring will irritate the area causing it to itch more. Even something like a misquito bite will become irritated by perspiration.
Reply:Logically, I would think that it would indeed worsen the problem because when you sweat and stuff, it opens your pores up wider, which would make the perfume seep further into your skin. But if you are allergic to perfumes, can't you just switch to hypo-allergenic products? Then you could have some itch-free exercise and not have to worry about it.
Reply:YES.. i got a perm about 10 years ago and had a severe reaction. Ever since then, i get hives and have very sensitve skin to almost everything. Zyrtec really helps me with the itchiness. But I noticed several years ago that when I perspire I break out worse. My doc told me that since my skin is so sensitive i break out from my own sweat. I cant even go for a long walk because the itching is so intense. The only thing that relieves it is a cool shower to wash off all the sweat and after that I am fine. So, Yes, you can definetley develop allergies to your sweat.
Reply:I'm not a doctor, or an expert, but the principle sounds reasonable to me. When you excercise or sweat, your pores are open. If you are reacting to a perfume or fragrance such as the ones added to deodorants and body sprays, the irritant could get into the open pore and have an extra-irritaing effect.

Food Allergy. Itchy Red/hot/dry Skin. Solutions?
My girlfriend is suffering from a Food Allergy for milk products, beef and sea food. Also spicy food.
She is a beautiful girl but she suffers a lot from this allergy. Get's this Allergy at least once a week.
All the food she likes is not good for her.
Sometimes in sleep she end up scratching herself until it's bleeding. Applying a lot of moisturising cream helps to get rid of dryness.
Sometimes she starts to hate herself and go crazy.
Still she's my beautiful Angel!
Any solution for this?
We live in Australia
Many Thanks.
Food Allergy. Itchy Red/hot/dry Skin. Solutions?
I suffer from allergies and occasionally end up with hives. Try Benadryl or another antihistamine and it should relieve the itchiness.
Reply:She needs to go to a doctor and find out exactly what foods are setting off the allergy and then STOP EATING THEM. Yes it can be hard but a lot of people have specific nutritional needs and have to stay away from things they like. Allergies get worse with repeated exposure to the offending substance, not better, and anaphylactic shock can be fatal.
Reply:Has she tried taking benedryl on the days this is happening? I have an allergy to ibuprofen.... when I accidently take something with it in it benedryl usually always counteracts it.
Reply:Visit the site http://beautycare4all.blogspot.com/ . I hope it will help you. It has home remedies on it.
Reply:I don't know how, since I'm new to this yahoo answer thing. But I can send you a sample of some lotion that is great. It's called Gloves in a bottle. You can call around and see if anyone has it or if you send me your address I'll send you some to try. lynarts@flash.net, or betterhealth@flash.net.
Reply:me too i live in beautiful oz. she needs to go to a skin specialist who will give her some cortisone cream. and she will have to take the time to try different foods to see which ones to avoid ,the doctor may also give her a shot on a regular basis to alleviate the symptoms .you're a great guy because you care so much about her

When a doctor performs a skin panel test for allergies, does this test include a test for shellfish allergy?
I had a heap of skin tests late August of this year.
Here is what is on the skin test sheet, (Australian test) but I would imagine they would be very simular.
Pollens
Dusts
Fungi's
Foods
Animals
Insects
I will only put what is on the food list.
Foods;
Milk (cow)
Egg Alb
Egg Yolk
Wheat Fl
Apple
Banana
Bean (Soya)
Beef
Carrot
Cocoa
Cray / fish
Fowl
Honey
Lamb
Onion
Orange
Pea
Peanut
Pineapple
Pork
Potato
Tomato
Walnut
Whiting
Yeast (Bakers)
Yeast (Brewers)
Saline
Histamine
Make sure you have some anti-histamines with you (you can take them when they completed all the tests), as my arm was a mass of itchy welts, some of which melded together.
Good luck
When a doctor performs a skin panel test for allergies, does this test include a test for shellfish allergy?
Yes. There will be nearly 100 unique test areas
Reply:no that is mainly for things that are airborn and the like i believe that that test is done by blood test i know that is how they found my cashew allergy
Reply:usually the first test performed is the basic test , mold, pollen,dog dander,etc. unless youv'e never showed any signs of anything else then the allergists might jump right to what your having problems with. however, that is not normally performed until further visits seek specialists
Reply:the allergy test can be up to 40 different items. to inclube shell fish. What they will do is stick your back enough to break the skin ...it doesn't hurt and then they put droplets of different substances on the broken skin... grass, weeds, pet hair, horse hair, eggs, etc when your back gets a little whelp in the area they measure it and then they tell you what your allergic to.
Reply:When I had it done the dermatologist basically picked and chose what he wanted to test me for, so if you're worried about it just ask and they probably can.
Reply:unless they know you possibly have a problem with that. otherwise, you may tell the dr u wnna be tested
Reply:If you are tested for food allergies too then it should include shellfish.

12 yr old feline with a skin problem ..(bad) flea bite allergy please help?
need a vet in massachusettes that will make a payment plan with me to help my Missy she is 12 yrs old and i know she has an allergy to flea bites she is in bad shape, she keeps licking herself to the point where she gets sores all over....(around the tail and on her back end) she is always scratching herself. Missy is my baby and i need help.... I live in Winchendon Ma. and we don't have alot my husband is recently disabled and I don't work have 3 kids.. really need some help We would like to keep Missy here with us........MEEEEEE I would !!!!!!! any help would be wonderfull!!!!! PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!
12 yr old feline with a skin problem ..(bad) flea bite allergy please help?
Do you see fleas on her? It could be a bacterial infection, yeast, mange, ringworm...to name a few. It also could be flea allergy dermatitis if she had a bad infestation. She could also have something else wrong that is causing immune suppression allowing for secondary infections to occur.
Do you have money for at least a office visit? (Usually $25-$45). Call all the local Vet's and get quotes for office visits. Make an appt @ the cheapest one. Let them examine her, they may find the culprit and send you home with antibiotics, it may be something as simple as that. If they need to do more tests (skin scraping, fungal cultures, blood work etc) ask for a detailed estimate and at that time ask if you can make payments.
If you already have a Vet that you've been to before, they may be a little more willing to make payment arrangements for you.
You can also try calling local rescue groups (not the humane society, animal control etc) small local groups (you can do a search on petfinder for local groups) and ask for some assistance. Most small groups have a Vet that they take their rescues to for reduced fees. They may allow you to take your cat to their Vet under their account and you will pay reduced fees for services.
If all else fails, you will need to give her to someone who can get her some treatment, as sad and heartbreaking as that will be.
Good luck!
Reply:Animal Umbrella in Somerville may be able to help you. I believe they have access to vets who donate or pro rate their bills when necessary.
Also, Chelsea Animal Clinic is very reasonable and probably would be willing to work with you.
I know this isn't that near Winchendon, but it's the only area that I know. I hope this helps.
As a last resort, you could call and talk with someone at North Shore Animal Shelter in Salem.
Reply:Flea allergies are not too expensive to treat. You just need flea treatments from a vet like Frontline Plus and housesprays - if she's in that bad a shape a steroid shot for temporary relief is also in order.
Ring around vets to see what they can offer you - a bit unlikely anyone on here from your area will post, so get your answers by just phoning the vets in your area.

Natural remedies for Dog skin allergies.?
He's a St. Bernard and has skin allergies. We've taken him to the vet and had all kinds of tests run. The outcome is just that he has allergies. We've tried many thing, and I am tired of giving him high doses of allergy medications and steroids. I would like to know of some topical/natural things I can try to relieve his itching. I've heard essential oils and such work wonders. Also, I would need dosages/instructions for him. He's 150 lbs, and has long fur.
Natural remedies for Dog skin allergies.?
Have you tried changing his diet? He could be lacking some essential oils. My dog was always itchy and dry when he was on Natural Choice, several weeks after I switched him to Solid Gold the itching went away and his skin greatly improved. You can also add Canola oil to his diet (1T a day) and this should also help his coat.
Reply:Brewers yeast and Garlic tablets-it will say on the bottle how much to give to him. Good Luck with your dog-I hope this helps
