Seasonal skin allergies are allergic reactions of the skin triggered by allergens that occur during specific seasons. For example, in spring, pollen allergies might lead to dermatitis, eczema, or urticaria; in summer, the intense ultraviolet rays can cause solar dermatitis, and in the cold weather of autumn and winter, cold urticaria or allergic dermatitis might occur. These conditions only appear during specific seasons and generally ease off or disappear after the season ends without the need for treatment. These are characteristics of seasonal skin allergies. In such cases, it is advisable to regularly exercise to boost the immune system to fight against allergens, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and refrain from staying up late.

What should I do if I have an allergic reaction to a wasp sting?

After being stung by a wasp and experiencing allergic reactions, the first step is to treat the sting site. You can wash the wound with soap and water or an alkaline solution to reduce the absorption of toxins. Additionally, thoroughly disinfect with iodine. Also, inspect the sting site for any remaining stinger; if present, remove it to decrease further toxin absorption and alleviate symptoms. For skin allergies, oral antihistamines such as levocetirizine or loratadine can be taken to ease symptoms. If the allergic skin reaction is severe and covers a large area, and oral medications are ineffective, intravenous administration of antihistamines such as dexamethasone, calcium gluconate, and high doses of vitamin C can be considered for treatment to relieve symptoms. It is also important to watch your diet and avoid spicy, irritating foods and seafood. (Please follow medical advice regarding medication use.)
