Has Anyone Ever Heard Of An Allergy To Sugar That Causes Really Bad Skin Rash?

I have had this crazy allergy since I has 11 years old. Although it took about 6 years for us to figure out what caused it. I have never heard of anyone that has this same allergy. The rash is not only itchy but very painful sometimes i have it on my legs sometimes on my arms and fingers. And sometimes, to my horror, on my face. It lasts about 4 to 5 days, but the dark spots I get after it drys up take about 3 weeks to go away. The strangest thing, however, is that after I got married and started using birth control it suddenly went away. I’ve been off of birth control for about a year an a half now but the allergy didn’t come back until now . . . that I’m pregnant. All I want to know is if there is anyone out there that has seen or heard of an allergy like this before and if you have has any doctor ever given any explanations for it. Thanks!

Urticaria symptoms : red, itchy, swollen area of skin that often appers in circular, raised welts in clusters (Hives can vary in size and usually affects the throat, arms and legs). Hives are usually caused by adverse reaction to medication, foods (e.g. peanuts, tree nuts, shellfish) insect bites or other irritants.

Skin Allergies Causes, Symptoms and Treatments for Skin Allergies

Skin AllergiesRed, bumpy, scaly, itchy, swollen skin….any of these symptoms can signify an allergic skin condition.These skin problems can be caused by a range of different things: animals, plants, medicines, foods, jewelery or even your clothes.Generally these attacks that are brought on by the unfortunate intersection of allergies and skin rashes fall into one of two categories: dermal allergies and systemic allergies that present as skin rashes.What are the most common allergens?Pollen from trees, grass and weeds. Allergies that occur in the spring (late April and May) are often due to tree pollen.Mold. Mold is common where water tends to collect, such as shower curtains, window moldings and damp basements.Causes Skin AllergiesDust mites, cockroaches, molds and animal dander, are examples of year-around allergens.Tree, grass and ragweed pollens are primarily seasonal outdoor allergens. Seasonal pollens depend on wind for cross-pollination. Plants that depend on insect pollination, such as goldenrod and dandelions, do not usually cause allergic rhinitis. Allergy is caused by an oversensitive immune system, which leads to a misdirected immune response. The immune system normally protects the body against harmful substances, such as bacteria and viruses. It reacts to substances (allergens) that are generally harmless and in most people do not cause a problem.Grass and tree pollensDust mites (living in and feeding on house dust)Food (cow’s milk, hen eggs, wheat, soya, seafood, fruit and nuts)Fungal or mould spores (in the bathroom and other damp areas)Poison ivy is the classic example of acute ACD in North America. ACD from poison ivy is characterized by linear streaks of acute dermatitis that develop where plant parts have been in direct contact with the skin.Symptoms Skin AllergiesPimples, blackheads, whiteheads, pustules, and some skin cysts are markers of acne. Get up to speed on acne symptomsAllergic shiners – the dark circles children with allergies often get under their eyesAn allergic salute common in children – the upward tilt of the nose with a crease on top, caused by the child’s continual upward swiping at an itchy nose. Another skin condition, urticaria (hives), is often considered a symptom of allergies, but not all urticaria is caused by an allergic response. Allergic urticaria is often related to drug, food, or latex allergies, but many times it is not known what triggers the urticaria.wheezing, noisy breathing or shortness of breathrash or redness of the skinloss of consciousnessTreatment Skin AllergiesAntihistamines like diphenhydramine, chlortrimeton, or loratadine (Clari tin, Clari tin RediTabs, Al avert); and moisturizing lotions.Keep windows and doors closed during heavy pollination seasons.Use the air conditioner in the house and car.Rid the home of indoor plants and other sources of mildew.Gargle with warm salt water to help reduce swelling and relieve discomfort:Gargle at least once each hour with 1 tsp (5 g) of salt dissolved in 8 fl oz of warm water.Use acaricide (a chemical that kills house-dust mites) or a tannic acid solution (solution that neutralizes the allergen in mite droppings).
