Allergies are your immune system’s overreaction to foods or substances that aren’t usually harmful. Your body produces antibodies in its own defense that can cause a physical reaction. Coming into contact with these substances can result in symptoms like: Sneezing Skin rash Runny nose Watery eyes Shortness of breath In some cases, severe allergies can result in anaphylaxis, a life-threatening situation that can lead to loss of consciousness, a dangerous drop in blood pressure, and even shock. Testing you for allergies isn’t painful. However, if you test positive for one or more allergens, you’ll likely develop red, itchy bumps that resemble insect bites on your skin. These bumps can be uncomfortable. Your provider can recommend an antihistamine or a topical cream to address these symptoms soon after treatment ends. Treating the bumps may be necessary to prevent infections caused by scratching. Call us at (347) 892–8902.
