Common Symptoms of Seasonal Allergies
Seasonal allergies typically begin once the ground begins defrosting. For most areas, this happens around early March. However, symptoms may arrive earlier or later depending on what you’re allergic to. Seasonal allergies can cause a variety of symptoms. Airborne pollen can come into contact with the sinuses and skin, often causing symptoms like congestion and skin rashes. Common seasonal allergy symptoms include:
- Hives
- Nasal congestion
- Sore throat
- Fatigue
- Cough
- Runny nose
- Sneezing
- Skin rash
Skin Rash Diagnosis
If you’re experiencing an itchy skin rash, it is important to seek medical care. Skin rashes are a common symptom of seasonal allergies, however, there are other conditions that can lead to a skin rash, such as poison ivy. A medical professional will be able to evaluate your symptoms and determine the cause of your rash so that you can treat it effectively. Rashes caused by allergies are often accompanied by other allergy symptoms such as congestion or a sore throat.
Treatment Options for Allergy-Induced Rashes
If you’re suffering from spring allergy symptoms like a skin rash, it is important to take steps to manage your symptoms. When left untreated, symptoms can last for weeks. Although allergy symptoms can be severe, they tend to come and go with exposure. However, with proper treatment, you can control allergy symptoms and reduce their impact on your daily life. Medications such as antihistamines can help prevent allergy symptoms, while topical creams like Benadryl and hydrocortisone can reduce skin irritation caused by spring allergies.
