Skin Allergy Treatment FAQ in North Little Rock, AR

What is the most reliable allergy test?

Both blood and skin allergy tests can detect a patient’s sensitivity to common inhalants like pollen and dust mites or to medicines, certain foods, latex, venom, or other substances. Skin testing is the preferred method used by trained allergists, and is usually the most accurate.

What stops allergic reaction on skin?

Topical creams and ointments, such as hydrocortisone or calamine lotion, to calm and soothe the affected skin. Antihistamine medication to calm down the rash and reduce itching caused by hives. Topical corticosteroid creams, foams, and ointments to help to relieve itching and reduce inflammation caused by eczema.

What is the difference between an allergist and a dermatologist?

They diagnose and treat conditions ranging from allergies and asthma to immunodeficiencies and immunologic disorders. Both allergists and dermatologists do allergy testing, but an allergist usually tests for seasonal or year-round allergens, while a dermatologist can usually test for contact allergies.

How can I permanently cure skin allergy?

Hydrocortisone cream. Ointments like calamine lotion. Antihistamines. Cold compresses. Oatmeal baths. Talk to your doctor about what’s best for your specific rash. For example, corticosteroids are good for poison ivy, oak, and sumac. They can prescribe stronger medicines if needed, too.

What is the difference between an allergist and immunologist?

Where as an allergist diagnoses and treats individuals with allergies, an immunologist will focus on broader, less frequent, and more complex immune disorders. Few allergists actually have a large immunology practice, leaving a handful of immunologists to practice this more specialized niche.

When should I be worried about itching?

Conditions that may cause itching are varied and include liver disease, kidney failure, iron deficiency anemia, thyroid problems, and even certain cancers in rare cases (leukemia, lymphoma). In these cases, itching will typically affect your whole body while your skin appears normal.

What do allergists usually test for?

A skin prick test, also called a puncture or scratch test, checks for immediate allergic reactions to as many as 50 different substances at once. This test is usually done to identify allergies to pollen, mold, pet dander, dust mites and foods. In adults, the test is usually done on the forearm.

What skin conditions are mistaken for eczema?

Scabies. Mites, which are invisible to the naked eye, burrow into the skin, causing it to itch. Psoriasis. Psoriasis patches are usually, but not always, slightly different compared to eczema, particularly on the hands. Mycosis. Seborrheic dermatitis.

What do I need to know before seeing an allergist?

You will be asked a series of questions about your own medical history as well, including any childhood allergies you might have had. Bring along any medical records you have or, if your doctor is referring you to a specialist, ask for those records to be transferred prior to your visit.

Which is better allergy skin test or blood test?

Generally speaking, skin tests are more sensitive than blood tests, meaning they are more likely to detect allergies that a blood test may miss. Skin tests also require less wait time, as results are typically delivered in 15-20 minutes, rather than the one to two week wait time of blood tests.

How long does a skin allergy test take?

The skin testing appointment generally takes 60 minutes. If you have a specific allergic sensitivity to one of the allergens, a red, raised, itchy bump (caused by histamine release into the skin) will appear on your skin within 15 minutes.

What does Level 3 allergy mean?

Class 3: High level of allergy (3.5 KUA/L – 17.4 KUA/L) indicative of high level sensitization. Class 4: Very high level of allergy (17.50 KUA/L – 49.99 KUA/L) indicative of very high level sensitization. Class 5: Very high level of allergy (50.00 KUA/L – 99.9 KUA/L) indicative of very high level sensitization.
