If your skin suddenly becomes itchy and hives appear, allergies may be the cause. However, many people cannot imagine that these symptoms are due to allergies. This usually appears as persistent itching and hives, and if you scratch or keep touching the area, it may leave scars, so please be careful.

So what exactly are the allergies that cause itchy skin and hives?

Allergies are a hypersensitive reaction of the body’s immune system to specific substances, and they can be caused by house dust mites, pollen, mold, food, and more.

Allergic diseases can be broadly divided into genetic and environmental factors, and the exact cause has not yet been identified. Therefore, there is still no truly effective way to prevent them entirely, but the most effective current approach is to find the cause through an allergy blood test and receive treatment and management accordingly.

The major allergic diseases are as follows.

Allergies: As explained above, symptoms vary depending on the cause and the affected organ. If these symptoms appear, it is best to visit a medical institution right away.

Asthma: A chronic allergic disease that occurs in the lungs and bronchi, caused not only by genetic factors but also by environmental factors. Asthma is a common condition in both children and adults, but if it is severe, it is advisable to receive treatment and management just like for hypertension or diabetes.

Rhinitis: Allergic rhinitis often appears during seasonal transitions or in spring when pollen is abundant. If left untreated, it may lead to headaches and can make daily life more difficult, so please keep this in mind. In addition, complications may include sinusitis and loss of smell.

Atopic dermatitis: This condition can commonly occur in infancy and early childhood, and severe itching and rash may be the main symptoms.

MAST test?

The MAST test is a test that can simultaneously check immune reactions to dozens of allergen substances with a single blood draw. This testing method causes less irritation to the skin and does not involve burden from pain, so it has the advantage of being suitable for everyone from children to adults.

The MAST test generally consists of 30 to 70 types, and the major allergen groups may include birch, oak, pollen, house dust mites, cats, dogs, fur, mold, milk, eggs, peanuts, and other foods. The reactive allergens can differ depending on a person’s living environment, and the test results are based on the level of IgE antibodies against specific allergens.

Since it is important to accurately identify the cause in cases of allergies, it is a good idea to determine lifestyle habits that can help you avoid them through an allergy blood test.
