Skin Allergy

Bumps, itching, redness and other skin conditions are common, and their cause may not be easily identifiable. A board-certified allergist can help determine if your symptoms are the result of allergies.

Eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, affects between 10 and 20 percent of children and 1 to 3 percent of adults. A common symptom of eczema is dry, red, irritated and itchy skin. Sometimes, especially when infected, the skin may have small, fluid-filled bumps that ooze a clear or yellowish liquid. People with eczema often have a family history of allergies.
