I live in northeast Alabama and I have bad seasonal allergies and right now I am doing the best I've done all year. I don't know what could be blooming right now over there I think that most everything is dead now. I wonder if your having indoor allergy problems. It could be mold.

This sounds like you need to consult an ALLERGIST you are possibly reacting to something under your nails or in the air I found that once I began an allergy remedy I stopped having reactions like that.  After my test I found out I was allergic to human hair...go figure right?  Keep your nails short and take good care of your skin.  I use Mary Kay on my whole body to keep it all properly hydrated and exfoliated.  When you talk to your consultant she will customize it for you ( ie men use no color or foundation or you may be allergic to a fragrance)  but here is what I generally recommend for the facial care...\n\nTry the Mary Kay skin care line with customized skin care products for acne. The best thing to with your skin is always to keep it clean as well as treating breakouts. This helps prevent breakouts. \n\nThere are five steps to basic skin care:  \n1. Cleanse\n2. Exfoliate\n3. Tone/Freshen\n4. Moisturize\n5. Protect\n\nThe Mary Kay 3 in 1 cleanser can do the first three steps in one. The fifth step is protect. You want to use an oil free foundation which our formulas for dry normal combo and oily skin are all oil free. When your skin is protected with foundation you can wash off the impurities that your skin catches in the air. The foundation catches the irritants and impurities instead of them getting into your pores causing further breakouts. Mary Kay is satisfaction guaranteed. So if you try it and it doesnt work for you you can get different products or your money back. \n\nAlso it is so important that when you are using skin care you use one line be it Mary Kay or Avon or a Walmart brand. They are formulated to work with one another. Mixing products not designed to work together can cause reactions in some people. ;) \n\nTo even out skin tone you of course need to keep your skin exfoliated but also use a solution like our day and night solution.  The day solution has SPF 25 in it and the Night Solution has Vitamin A and E and more in them.  These collagen inducing products help to tighten and firm the skin as well as even out tone.  You can add in our Microdermabrasion once or twice a week to totally exfoliate and remove dead skin.  The second step of our microderm set will return your skin to its proper PH balance so you will not be rough or dry afterwards.  \n\nI reccomend using products as follows but like I said all skin care must be customized for an individual.\n\nTimewise 3 in 1 Cleanser (customized for skin type)\nTimewise Day Solution (at night use Night Solution)\nTimewise Moisturizer (customized for skin type)\nTimewise Firming Eye cream\nAdditional moisturizers if needed(intense for dry spots etc)\nFoundation (customized for skin type and shade)  \nColor products (use all oil free and non-comedogenic)\n\nHope this was helpful!!\n\nMeganHill@MaryKay.com if you need anything else\nwww.MaryKay.com/MeganHill to check out the line\n\nMegan

Sounds like hives from an allergic reaction either to something you are eating, pets, or soap you may be using, or an allergy to season changing. This can get serious. Take Benadryl, or the generic that is less expensive is diphenhydramine 25mg that you can find at the pharmacy. Take as directed. If it gets worse, please go see your doctor.\n\nI agree with Kitty Kit, hydrocortisone cream will greatly help the itching. She is also right about stress, it can bring on hives because of the lowering of the immunity.

It's eczema. Get an allergy test done.

I would check with a doctor.  I would normally think it was allergies, but when you say you have irritation only on the right side of your face, then that's a little different, check with the Doc.

I too am allergic to wheat, corn, dairy, cats, house mites and house dust oh and some trees. no grass though. I have been taking Atarax at night, because it makes me sleepy and then Allegra 180 in the am. By the way i was diagnosed with Uticaria, Skin Writing. Get with a good allergist, really push him, make him write a small dose of some form of anti histamine. And, as horrible as it is, keep your child off the foods that make him allergic. But  in saying that, foods may or may not make him itch, it could be just one food. Corn does make me itch. I can sneek a few foods in once in a while. I thank the Atarax and Allegra.\nGood luck.

Allergies to one of those foods, most likely. Check with your doctor

I don't know what it is, but anything that you may be allergic to can cause skin hives.

Well yeah, you can be allergic to pretty much anything. I have a close friend allergic to orange anything. You should have your allergies checked to be safe.

What you might have is a skin condition called Hives.  To best treat it, focus on making yourself feel better because its caused by nerves.  Stop stressing about things you really can't change.  I have found chocolate to help.

Sounds an awful lot like an allergic reaction to something eaten or introduced into the immediate environment.  If Benadryl or a similar antihistimine relieves the problem, I think he's got some kind of allergy to trace down with a specialist.\n\nIf it happens at roughly the same 3 times each year, perhaps an investigation into what allergens he might be exposed to (something in bloom?) is in order.\n\nBest to you both.

Well obviously the best advice is to see a doctor ASAP, but also try changing your soap (think...hmmm...have you changed soaps recently?)  I have had a reaction to soap before (It was Irish Spring) I smelled horrible and I switched back the next day and it never happened again, and I have never used "Irish Spring" again!

Until you can get to the doc, have a bottle of Benedryl with you take one whenever the symptoms arise (take 2 if symptoms are bad). However the Benedryl will make you drowsy, so be careful if you are driving. I developed an allergy out of nowhere from one day to the next, so even if you haven't come into contact or eaten anything new, you can suddenly have a reaction... You live in Cal, so it's gonna be hard, but I was told to wear long sleeves and not be in direct sunlight until I saw the Doc. Heat can trigger an allergic reaction (I live in Montreal...easier to stay cool!). Try taking luke warm, cool shower, maybe without soap/body gel and see what happens. Good luck!

You must go to dermatologist....Maybe your hands and your skin  are sensitive with some ingredient s in soap or something like that....(shower gel,or cream,etc.)....I think that is probably allergy...
