The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aaaai.org\/Conditions-Treatments\/Allergies\/Skin-Allergy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">American Academy of Allergy, Asthma &amp; Immunology<\/a> reports that eczema affects one in five infants and one in fifty adults. It is thought to be due to \u201cleakiness\u201d of the skin barrier, causing it to dry out and become irritated and inflamed. Eczema is commonly associated with asthma, allergic rhinitis and food allergies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Allergic Contact Dermatitis<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This type of dermatitis is caused by direct contact with an allergen, like tall grass at <a href=\"https:\/\/palmettoconservation.org\/passage\/enoree-passage\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Enoree Passage<\/a>. For example, if you have a nickel allergy and wear jewelry with nickel, you may develop red, bumpy, scaly, itchy or swollen skin where the jewelry had contact. Contact with poison ivy or poison oak can also cause this type of reaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Urticaria (Hives)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Hives are a type of inflammation of the skin triggered by the immune system releasing the chemical histamine. Histamine causes small blood vessels to leak, causing swelling of the skin. Urticaria may be acute, caused by a specific trigger, or chronic, which is difficult to determine the cause of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Angioedema (Swelling)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This type of swelling occurs in the deep layers of the skin and is often associated with urticaria. Most commonly, the soft tissues in the eyelids, mouth or genitals are affected. Acute angioedema is usually caused by an allergic reaction to food or drugs, while chronic angioedema often does not have an identifiable cause.
