At Hollywood Dermatology, our board-certified dermatologists can pinpoint what’s causing your symptoms through skin allergy tests. If you’re in Hollywood, Pembroke Pines, Hallandale, West Miramar, or Doral, Florida, we’ll help you find real relief. These are the signs to watch for that might indicate a spring-related allergy flare-up.
1. Itchiness That Won’t Go Away
That constant urge to scratch may be more than just dry skin. Seasonal allergens can cause histamine reactions, leading to intense itching that lingers. Scratching can make things worse, breaking the skin and increasing the risk of infection. If moisturizer isn’t helping, it may be time to check for underlying allergies.
2. Sudden or Recurring Hives
Hives are raised, red, or skin-colored welts that can appear out of nowhere. They often happen when the immune system reacts to allergens. While hives usually fade within hours, they can be uncomfortable and persistent if allergens remain in your environment.
3. Unexplained Skin Rashes
If you’re noticing red, irritated patches, especially on areas exposed to the elements, a spring allergy may be the culprit. Rashes can range from mild irritation to severe inflammation, depending on your sensitivity. Identifying the trigger will help prevent future flare-ups.
4. Persistent Redness
Blotchy skin that doesn’t seem to go away could be your skin reacting to pollen, fragrances, or even changes in temperature. If redness lingers despite switching up your skincare routine, an allergy test could uncover the cause.
5. Painful Blisters
In some cases, allergies cause fluid-filled blisters, particularly when the skin reacts to direct contact with an irritant. These can break and become painful, making everyday activities uncomfortable. If this happens, our dermatologists know how to prevent infection and speed up healing.
