Do you have a lumpy and itchy skin? 5 main things that cause skin allergies
Skin allergies are caused by our immune system overreacting when the skin comes into contact with certain substances. The main causes of this are as follows:
Cosmetics and chemicals: Chemicals in the soaps, shampoos, perfumes, hair dyes, and fairness creams we use can cause allergies on the skin. This is called ‘Contact Dermatitis’.
Foods: Eating certain foods can cause red spots and itching (hives) on the skin. Milk, eggs, seafood (shrimp, crab), and peanuts are important in this.
Metals and Jewelry: Some people experience red, itchy, and flaky skin when wearing non-gold jewelry, especially those containing nickel. Watches and belt buckles can also cause this problem.
Dust and mold in the air: Dust mites, animal dander, and pollen in the house can cause itchy and flaky skin. Molds in damp places can also cause allergies.
Weather changes: Excessive heat and sweating can cause heat rashes on the skin. Similarly, extreme cold can dry out the skin and cause allergies.
