Skin Allergy Treatment
Identify the Trigger, Stop the Itch
What Is a Skin Allergy?
Skin allergies occur when your immune system overreacts to a substance, causing itchy, red, inflamed, or bumpy skin. These allergic reactions can be sudden or chronic, mild or severely distressing — but they are all signs that your skin barrier and immune system need attention.
At Dermosphere Clinic, we specialize in identifying, treating, and managing all forms of skin allergies — with dermatologist-led diagnosis, advanced testing, and long-term solutions tailored to your lifestyle.
Common Types of Skin Allergies We Treat
1. Contact Dermatitis
• Caused by direct contact with allergens or irritants
• Common triggers: cosmetics, hair dyes, fragrances, jewellery, detergents, gloves, or topical creams

• Genetic tendency to develop itchy, dry, inflamed skin
• Often starts in childhood, flares with stress or seasonal changes
3. Urticaria (Hives)
• Sudden red, itchy welts on the skin
• Can be triggered by food, heat, cold, exercise, or stress
4. Drug-Induced Allergies
• Rashes caused by medicines like antibiotics, painkillers, or supplements
• Can range from mild to life-threatening (Stevens-Johnson syndrome)

Frequently Asked Questions
1. How do I know what I’m allergic to?
We use patch testing and detailed history** to identify triggers — from cosmetics to fabrics to medications.
2. Is it safe to treat children’s allergies?
Yes. We have pediatric-safe treatments and allergy protocols.
3. Will I need lifelong medication?
Not always. Many skin allergies can be controlled with trigger avoidance, proper skincare, and short-course medications.

Most OTC creams contain steroids or allergens. They can temporarily mask but worsen allergies. Always consult a dermatologist.
