How to Deal with Skin Allergy
Allergy is body hypersensitivity to some substance. Our body can react by breathing system allergy (rhinitis and asthma), intestine allergy (diarrhea) and skin allergy. Skin allergy may occur in the form of mild skin redness until dermatitis, which can appear in many places.
Skin Allergy Identification
When you suddenly get the red spots and suspect an allergy, question your self these:
-Do the red spot appear in a broad part of your body (at your arms and legs) or just in a small part (at your palm hand)?
-What unusual food or even drug and food supplement have you taken?
-Do you change your detergent?
Small part of itchy redness in your palm may indicate that you have a skin contact allergy. Avoid touching the suspected substance. Broad skin redness may be suspected as caused by food allergy-something that goes with the blood flow.
Skin Allergy Treatment
Corticosteroid combined with antihistamines cream or ointment can be used to relieve skin redness. Dermatologist may prescribe a mixture cream contains anti histamines, anti redness, and itchy reducer. Some topical corticosteriods used for allergy treatment are betamethasone, clobetasol, clobetasone,

A natural herbs treatment should not use any drug substances otherwise they are called allergy drug.
