Dermatology / Allergy1) Dermatologic Emergencies
2)
Atopic Dermatitis. One of two types is clearly allergic and is very
responsive to allergy diagnosis and treatment. A new biologic agent,
Dupixent, is also useful, in my experience.
3) Urticaria (hives),
acute, recurrent or chronic, is mostly an allergic condition - but may
have many other causes. It often requires a detailed allergy and
medical evaluation for identification and resolution - when we are
fortunate.
4) Contact Dermatitis. A "delayed-type"
hypersensitivity reaction. "Poison Ivy" is the prototype, as is nickel
/ metal sensitivity, but the list is almost endless. It may require
patch testing by a Dermatologist.GS
