Cosmetic/facial care allergies?~?

If u were allergic to an acne cream, cosmetic etc.. Do u think it would irritate ur skin? or do u think its possible to create a more 'internal' allergy? such as Sneezing, a rash on the stomache, chills, burning eyes, and a very red dry throat, with mucus sometimes stuck in the throat? these r the symptoms i hav been experiencing, i jus don't know the cause! I sneeze often in the morning 2!





Thoughtz?

Wow! I have lots of thoughts on this one. A couple of things might be going on here. First, the sneezing in the morning just screams of dust mite allergy. When you are allergic to mites, you experience the symptoms at night and in the morning upon rising. The reason is that these little buggers are microscopic and they live in our beds, pillows, and bedding. They are easy to control...I'll give you a link that tells you all about them and a link that goes to these special covers you put on the bed to stop them


Second, chills are NOT an allergy symptom. If you are experiencing chills, you might have a fever. Fever is never a symptom of allergy. So, it could just be a coincidence that while this other stuff is going on you are catching a cold. A cold would explain the chills and the dry throat. A cold takes about 10 days to run its course.


Third as far as the base question regarding allergy to personal care products, many people are allergic to the formaldehyde, toulene, parabens, and benzene that is common in many of these products. The symptoms can be uriticaria (hives), swollen, itchy or red eyes and itching skin. The rash usually appears on the area to which the product was applied. Rash on stomach can be a symptom of food allergy, antibiotic allergy, or something like scarlet fever (which is nothing more than strep throat with a rash). Hmmm scarlet fever would explain the chills, rash, and throat symptoms. May want to get to doc for a throat culture.

I think it'd most likely irritate your skin rather than internally irate you. But, everyone's different, maybe you are internally allergic to what you are using. It depends on the product to. I use Clean %26amp; Clear and Nuetrogena face creams and they are really awesome and don't irritate my skin at all, and I have such sensitive skin. Good luck.
