what causes skin allergy - #23516
I am really freaking out here because I’ve been dealing with this skin issue, and I just don’t get what causes skin allergy in my case. It kinda started out of nowhere about a month ago. One day my skin was fine, and the next, BAM! I had these itchy red patches on my arms and a couple on my neck. Ugh, it’s super annoying! I’ve tried changing my soap and my laundry detergent, thinking that might be it, but no luck. I went to my doctor, and they did some tests. They said it could be contact dermatitis but didn’t really explain what causes skin allergy to that. It’s not like I was rolling in poison ivy or anything, at least not that I know of! Plus, I’ve also been really stressed out lately with work and all, and I'm wondering if that could also play a role in what causes skin allergy symptoms. Should I be checking my diet or my makeup? It feels like I’m lost and drowning in all this and need help figuring out what causes skin allergy to get rid of this! Any advice would be greatly appreciated, even if it’s just a let me know I’m not alone in this skin allergy battle.
