Drug & Medicine Allergies occur when your immune system overreacts to a medication, causing symptoms that can range from mild rashes to severe, life-threatening reactions like anaphylaxis. Common drugs that trigger allergies include antibiotics, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and certain anesthetics. Accurate diagnosis and management are essential to avoid adverse reactions and ensure effective treatment alternatives.Â
Metal & Jewellery Allergies often involve reactions to common metals such as nickel, cobalt, and chromium. These allergies can cause contact dermatitis, characterized by itching, redness, and swelling at the site of contact, such as with jewelry, watches, or even dental work. Identifying and avoiding these metals is key to managing symptoms and preventing flare-ups.
Cosmetic Allergies are reactions to ingredients in skincare and beauty products, such as make-up, shampoos, fragrances, preservatives, or dyes. Symptoms can include rashes, itching, and swelling. It’s important to determine the specific allergens to avoid and select products that are hypoallergenic or designed for sensitive skin.
