Need help with skin allergy and immune system?
Posted by Answers CommunityI've been having skin itching and flushing on my arm, back, chest, and belly area. It started being itchy and so I scratch it gently and then the area reddened without any bumps. Except my skin has goose bumps even though I am not cold.
So I think it's skin allergy, although I cound't find any possible allergen that caused it.
I've been extremely stressful for the past few weeks with lack of sleep for a long time and so I think my immune system is compromised and imbalanced.
I tried tropical cream with cortisone but it didn't really work.
I also tried mint cream but that only help me feel less itchy.
Can some one give me some suggestion? I am thinking of eating antihistamine from allergy OTC drug. What about food? How can I gain immune system balance?
Thank you.

Yes, your immune system is being compromised. I would recommend 2,000 mg of Ester-C daily, in divided doses and Beta 1,3 Glucans. You should also take 1 tbsp of flax oil daily. Also, you may want to try a good herbal allergy formula from a health food store. Get some sleep, too. Melatonin with a combination of B-6 and Valerian Root can really help you catch up on Z's.
