Q: What can I do about skin allergies?
A: Dear friends, allergies have increased significantly in recent years, especially in March – May and September – October each year, which is the peak period for allergies. The main reason why skin is prone to allergies in spring is pollen, followed by the stimulation of sunlight. Some people are allergic to high winds and get wind rash; some people are allergic to pollen and will sneeze, rash, itch and even have red eyes when they smell it; some people are allergic to crab and other hard-shelled seafood and get red rashes all over their bodies and even have difficulty breathing. Some people will be allergic to dust, mites, and some will even be allergic to flour and cola!
Mites have 22% to 25% of the world’s population suffering from allergic diseases, with the largest number of children, and it is estimated that by 2010, the prevalence will reach 40%.
More than 200 million people in China suffer from allergic diseases, and desensitization has been recognized as an effective treatment. Zhong Nanshan academician introduced that 22% of the global population suffers from allergic rhinitis, asthma, eczema and other allergic diseases, and the rate of increase is 23 times every 10 years, and is expected to reach 40% of the global population in 2010. By analogy, more than 200 million people in China suffer from allergic diseases, which should be taken seriously.
Common allergens are as follows.

4, injectable allergens: such as penicillin, streptomycin, heterologous serum, etc.
5, self-tissue antigens: mental tension, work stress, microbial infection, ionizing radiation, burns and other biological and physicochemical factors that change the structure or composition of self-tissue antigens, as well as self-hidden antigens released due to trauma or infection, can also become allergens.
High-risk groups for skin allergy
