Episode 07: Skin Allergies — What's Really Irritating Your Skin?
Manage episode 482891178 series 3498049
Itchy, red, and suddenly reacting to products you’ve used for years? You might be dealing with a skin allergy. In this episode, Dr. Dustin Portela and PA Austin Lee break down what causes allergic and irritant contact dermatitis, why your skin sometimes turns against you, and how to tell the difference between an allergy and an irritation. They cover the most common culprits—from Neosporin and fragrance to nickel and hair dye—and explain how patch testing works, why poison ivy reactions seem to “spread,” and what to do when you’re mid-flare and desperate for relief. Plus, did you know humans actually glow? Stick around for a surprising “Did You Know” segment that goes from bioluminescence to French dermatology museums.
