Allergies Treatment Clinic in Tigard, OR

If a person has a skin allergy, when exposed to the allergen, the person will typically develop red, bumpy, and itchy skin. It can be rather irritating, painful, and embarrassing to the person. If a rash develops, it can be caused by many different things, including exposure to a certain type of plant, like poison ivy, for example, or an allergic reaction to a certain type of medication or food. Rashes are also caused by illnesses such as the measles or the chickenpox. Eczema and hives are also both related to allergies and happen to be the two most common types of skin rashes. If your skin condition happens to be the result of a skin allergy, one of our expert doctors at Columbia Clinic Urgent Care can diagnose and treat your medical condition so you can start to live life to the fullest.

There are many types of skin allergy reactions. That is why it is very important to visit Columbia Clinic Urgent Care to be tested—that way, together, we are able to figure out what is the best course of treatment.

– Eczema typically shows results that are dry and sensitive skin. You will typically experience red, itchy patches that can vary in size. Eczema can come and go over a period of time, and when you develop flare-ups, they may crack, ooze, and itch immensely. The itchiness can vary in severity from being mild, which means just dry skin, to severe, which would be considered having red, scaly, thick, and oozing skin.

– Hives are raised, itchy bumps; these also can vary in size. Typically, hives appear to be red in color and will turn white in the center of the bump when pressed on.

– Contact dermatitis is often caused by exposure to an allergen or irritant. If you happen to have red, itchy bumps on your skin, especially if they are at the site of contact, then you may be experiencing the effects of contact dermatitis.

If you suspect or if you are experiencing any of these symptoms or conditions, our doctor can conduct an examination and do the proper testing to help you determine the exact cause of your skin reaction and can also make some recommendations on treatments that can help relieve your symptoms.
