Allergies & Skin Reactions Treatment
Allergies and skin reactions can range from mild irritations to severe, urgent medical conditions.Â
At EveryMed GP Clinic, we diagnose and treat a wide range of allergic responses and skin conditions, helping you get fast relief and preventing symptoms from worsening.
What Are Allergies and Skin Reactions?
Allergies occur when your immune system overreacts to substances such as food, pollen, medicine, or insect bites.Â
Skin reactions happen when allergens or irritants trigger inflammation, redness, itching, or swelling on the skin.
Our GPs provide accurate diagnosis and personalised treatment plans to ensure safe and effective relief.
Common Causes of Allergies & Skin Reactions
Allergic reactions may be caused by:
- Foods (nuts, eggs, seafood, dairy, etc.)
- Pollen, dust, or environmental allergens
- Medication or antibiotics
- Insect stings or bites
- Skincare products or detergents
- Latex
- Heat, friction, or sweat
- Viral or bacterial infections leading to skin rashes
Common Symptoms
Symptoms vary depending on the cause and severity but may include:
- Red, itchy, or inflamed skin
- Swelling of the face, lips, or eyes
- Hives or raised welts
- Peeling or blistering
- Runny nose, sneezing, or itchy eyes
- Cough or wheezing (if the reaction affects breathing)
- Digestive symptoms (if food allergies are involved)
If you experience difficulty breathing, swelling of the throat, or dizziness, seek emergency care immediately.
Diagnosing Allergies & Skin Reactions
At EveryMed, your GP will:
- Review your symptoms and medical history
- Identify potential triggers
- Conduct a physical examination
- Recommend allergy tests if needed (blood or specialist referral)
- Assess for chronic conditions like eczema or dermatitis
Early diagnosis helps prevent recurring flare-ups and improves long-term management.
Treatment Options
Treatment depends on the cause and severity, and may include:
- Antihistamines: To reduce itching, sneezing, redness, and swelling.
- Corticosteroid Creams or Tablets: Used for moderate to severe inflammation or skin irritation.
- Allergy Eye Drops: For itchy, watery, or red eyes.
- Topical or Oral Antibiotics: If the skin reaction is caused by or complicated by infection.
- Moisturisers & Barrier Creams: To treat eczema, dermatitis, or dry skin reactions.
- Allergen Avoidance Plan: Guidance to help you reduce exposure to triggers.
- Emergency Medication (EpiPen / Adrenaline): For patients at risk of severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis).

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What are the most common symptoms of an allergic reaction?
Common symptoms include itching, redness, swelling, hives, watery eyes, runny nose, sneezing, and skin rashes. Severe allergy symptoms may include difficulty breathing or swelling of the lips or throat — this requires emergency care.
2. When should I see a GP for an allergic reaction?
You should see a GP if symptoms are persistent, worsening, or recurring, or if you are unsure what triggered the reaction. Seek same-day care for widespread rashes, swelling, severe itching, or suspected food, medication, or insect allergies.
3. What causes skin reactions and allergies?
Skin and allergy reactions can be triggered by pollen, pets, dust, foods, medications, insect bites, detergents, skincare products, and environmental factors. A GP can help determine the likely cause based on symptoms and exposure.
4. How are allergies diagnosed at EveryMed?
Your GP will take a medical history, check symptoms, and examine the affected skin. In some cases, blood tests or allergy-specific screenings may be recommended for chronic or recurring symptoms.
5. What treatments are available for allergic skin reactions?
Treatment may include antihistamines, topical creams, soothing lotions, steroid medications, or anti-inflammatory medication. For infections caused by scratching, antibiotics may be provided.
6. Can allergies be prevented?
Yes. Avoiding known triggers, using hypoallergenic skincare products, staying indoors during high pollen days, and managing chronic allergies with medication can significantly reduce symptoms.
7. Are skin rashes always caused by allergies?
No. Rashes can also be caused by infections, eczema, heat, medications, autoimmune conditions, or irritants. A GP evaluation helps determine the exact cause and appropriate treatment.
8. Can recurring skin reactions indicate a chronic condition?
Yes. Persistent or repeated rashes may be linked to eczema, dermatitis, autoimmune issues, or long-term allergies. If symptoms keep returning, ongoing GP care and management may be required.
