Allergy from beard

[lianascimento]

I have a severe allergic reaction every time I come into contact with male beard. It can be a big beard or just newly grown, from any man, just by touching my skin gets red and swollen, and this causes a very strong itching, and usually takes up to 1 hour to pass.
I wonder if there is some treatment, some cream or something I can use to reduce this reaction.

Hello and hope you are doing well.

Understand your predicament.
On exposure to the allergen, an Immunologic (IgE) or a non-immunologic reaction is set in process, which ultimately releases histamine, which acts at the peripheral receptors, resulting in allergic reactions and rashes.

The aim of the therapy is identification and removal of trigger factor. It is the most important and the only effective long-term therapy. Since you are already aware of the triggering factors, avoid them.

Local measures like ice packs and antipruritic lotions are helpful. Antihistamines block the histamine receptors and prevent histamine from acting and thus help in preventing rashes.

Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
