Allergic reaction
Allergic reactions on the skin can manifest as redness, itching, pimples, or swelling. Sometimes they subside quickly, other times they require professional treatment. At the Vasmedic clinic, we offer comprehensive examinations and effective therapy for allergic reactions to help you get rid of your symptoms and prevent them from recurring.
What is an alergic reaction?
An allergic reaction occurs when the immune system overreacts to a substance that is harmless to most people. This substance, known as an allergen, can come from food, cosmetics, the environment, or medication. Allergies often manifest on the skin as redness, itching, pimples, or swelling. For some patients, this is a short-term problem, while for others, the symptoms recur over the long term and require targeted treatment.
How does skin allergy manifest itself?
- red and hot spots,
- dry and flaky skin,
- itchy rash, small pimples or blisters,
- oozing or cracking skin,
- swelling at the site of contact with the allergen,
- in severe cases, the reaction spreads to larger areas.
The most common triggers of allergic reactions
- Food – milk, eggs, nuts, seafood, gluten, soy.
- Medicines – antibiotics, analgesics, some painkillers and fever reducers.
- Cosmetics and drugstore products – fragrances, preservatives, dyes, detergents.
- Metals and chemicals – nickel in jewelry, cleaning products, hair dye.
- Environment – dust, dust mites, pollen, animal hair, mold.
- Insect bites – bees, wasps, or mosquitoes can cause a significant local reaction.
Diagnostics at the Vasmedic clinic
Our dermatologists take a comprehensive approach:
- Interview (medical history) – we ask about your symptoms, lifestyle, eating habits, and medications you are taking.
- Clinical skin examination – assessment of the extent and type of reaction.
- Special tests – skin tests, blood tests, or swabs to accurately identify the allergen.
Treatment options
- Local treatment – special creams, ointments, or gels that soothe inflammation and itching.
- Systemic therapy – antihistamines in tablet form, and corticosteroids for more severe forms.
- Targeted recommendations – how to avoid allergens, how to care for your skin, and what dermocosmetic products to use.
- Lifestyle measures – dietary changes, stress reduction, and a healthier lifestyle.

- quickly relieve symptoms and soothe the skin,
