Allergy Shots breakout

Recently I started receiving weekly allergy shots for pollen and pet danger, and noticed I was breaking out. I'm concerned due to never having a breakout to this extent while growing up, but the occasional pimple here and there. I mentioned it to the doctor and he dismissed this, said it could not be a reaction to the shots. Would there be anything other reason to this happening since the shots? ....

Hello,

I would not think that shots would cause a break out.  They can cause hives at the injection site though.

I would consider other options like middle age changes, stress, diet changes, skin care product change, detergent change....  Any change from your previous products.  If you are using sun screen to go out side, that could certainly be the cause.

God bless.

Hi,
How are you? These skin breakouts can occur when pores become clogged. It can be triggered by hormonal changes as well related to menstrual periods, pregnancy, birth control pills, or stress as mentioned above. Certain medications, high levels of humidity and sweating as well as cosmetic and hair products may also triggers.  Try not to squeeze, scratch, pick, or rub the skin lesions to avoid secondary infection and scarring. Take care and do keep us posted.
