Skin Allergy Treatment FAQ in Arlington, TX

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.

What vitamin deficiency can cause itchy skin?

Both vitamin B12 and vitamin A deficiencies may also cause itchy skin, so if you are experiencing chronically itchy skin, getting your level of these vitamins tested can be helpful. This testing will help determine whether these deficiencies are at the root of your skin sensitivities and itchiness.

Why am I suddenly having allergic reactions to everything?

Maybe you’ve moved and are being exposed to different allergens, which trigger your immune system. A viral or bacterial infection could also flip that switch. Hormones can be a catalyst, too, especially in women. It’s not uncommon to develop food allergies during puberty, pregnancy or menopause.

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.

Is eczema autoimmune or inflammatory?

Eczema is a chronic skin condition that can be severe. Inflammation in the skin triggers symptoms of eczema. While the immune system is involved in eczema flares, it’s not an autoimmune condition.

What triggers my skin allergy?

Your skin touches an allergen, like nickel or a chemical in a soap, lotion, or sunscreen. Particles in the air, such as pollen, can also trigger dermatitis when they land on the skin. Your doctor may call this “airborne contact dermatitis.” In some cases, you’ll have a reaction only after you’ve been in the sun.

What should you not do before seeing an allergist?

Do not take Claritin, Clarinex, Zyrtec, Xyzal, or Allegra for 7 days prior to the allergy test. Do not take over the counter antihistamines (Benadryl, cold & sinus medications, sleep aids such as Tylenol PM) 7 days before the test.

What foods cause itchy skin?

When it comes to food allergies, peanuts, wheat, eggs, cow’s milk, soy and shellfish are among the most common culprits. The itchiness caused by these foods and subsequent scratching can then lead to flare-ups or worsening of dermatitis symptoms.

Are skin biopsies covered by insurance?

Will insurance cover the procedure? Sometimes insurance will cover the biopsy cost, but often this fee is out of pocket as part of your dermatology deductible. Procedure biopsy fees are also separate from your visit fee or specialist co-pay.

Do allergists treat skin allergies?

An allergist is a physician who diagnoses and treats health conditions that appear suddenly or occasionally. You may have skin reactions or respiratory reactions that arise due to allergies of many kinds, including from pollen, food, mold, or dander. You may also see an allergist for asthma.

What happens if a skin biopsy is positive?

Generally, after a patient receives positive melanoma results, his or her doctors will need to proceed with staging the malignancy— which essentially means determining the extent of the cancer—and developing a treatment plan based on how far the cancer has progressed.

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.
