What should I do if I have itchy skin due to a seafood allergy?
Seafood allergies can cause symptoms such as itchy skin and rash. You can take oral antihistamines, such as cetirizine or loratadine, to alleviate the symptoms. If the itching is severe, you can have intravenous treatments with dexamethasone, a large amount of vitamin C, and calcium gluconate, among other antiallergic treatments, to ease the symptoms. It is also advisable to drink plenty of water and eat fresh vegetables and fruits to supplement vitamins, which can be beneficial for recovery. Avoid spicy, stimulating foods and yeast-containing products, and be cautious with your diet to avoid allergenic foods. If necessary, go to the hospital to identify the specific allergens to clearly understand what you are allergic to, which will help in avoiding allergic reactions in the future. If the itching is severe and accompanied by obvious rashes, topical calamine lotion can be applied to the affected area for its anti-inflammatory, itch-relief, and astringent properties, promoting recovery. If the condition is severe, further medical examinations and treatments in a hospital are essential to prevent a serious condition from developing. (Use of medication should be under the guidance of a physician)
What should I do if my skin is itchy and oozing yellow fluid?
For skin itchiness accompanied by symptoms like oozing yellow fluid, which align with changes seen in eczema, it is necessary to enhance skin cleanliness and provide symptomatic treatment with anti-allergy and anti-inflammatory measures. Avoid spicy, stimulating foods and seafood products, and reinforce local cleanliness to prevent secondary infections. Apply a 3% boric acid solution externally, and after the surface liquid has dried, further apply Clobetasol Propionate Econazole Cream. Take orally Mycostatin sustained-release tablets, Total Glucosides of Paeony Capsules, and Tripterygium Wilfordii Polyglycosides Tablets, among other medications. If the condition is severe, an intramuscular injection of Compound Betamethasone can be administered to control the situation until the skin lesions stabilize, after which non-steroidal categories should be used. (Note: Use of medications should be conducted under the guidance of a physician.)
