Patients with skin allergies can bathe in most cases; however, there is one circumstance under which they should not bathe: if there are ulcers or breaks in the skin. Bathing under these conditions can lead to secondary infections at the sites of ulcers and breaks. Additionally, one should not scratch the areas affected by skin allergies. It is also crucial to avoid washing the affected areas with overly hot water, as this is prohibited. Be sure to rest and eat a light diet regularly.
