Allergies and Rashes
Understanding Allergies and Rashes
Allergies occur when the immune system reacts to a foreign substance such as pollen, pet dander, certain foods, or insect stings. These reactions can manifest in various ways, including skin rashes. Rashes caused by allergies can vary in appearance and severity, often resulting in discomfort and irritation.
