Curex is the place to go for all your allergy questions and needs. Led by healthcare entrepreneurs and allergy clinicians, Curex is an integrated, online telemedicine clinic for people who suffer from environmental allergies (e.g., indoor, outdoor or pet), asthma, and eczema.

Curex is the largest online allergy and asthma clinic in the U.S. We started because our clinicians wanted to offer more convenient and affordable allergy and asthma care for everyone. So far we have attracted more than 50,000 customers from every U.S. state. We are proud to have the highest patient satisfaction and loyalty rates in the industry. Our service has been audited and certified by LegitScript.com.

What services do you offer?

Curex provides comprehensive care for those suffering from allergies, asthma, and eczema. This includes customized sublingual immunotherapy, at-home concierge allergy testing, and symptom management. Our goal is to provide accessibility and quality of allergy care in the U.S.

Does Curex accept insurance?

Curex accepts the majority of insurance plans across the United States, including Aetna, Anthem, United, Humana, and others. While it is difficult to estimate out-of-pocket costs prior to a claim being submitted, our team will work with you to make sure your treatment is as affordable as possible. For that purpose, we also cap copays at $500/year. In addition, Curex accepts HSA and FSA.

What conditions do you treat?

We focus on indoor and outdoor allergies caused by environmental or inhalant allergies, like those caused by pollens, weeds, grasses, dust mites, molds, and pets. We also treat allergic asthma and eczema, as these conditions are closely related to allergies.

What is immunotherapy?

Immunotherapy is a longstanding form of treatment that aims to meaningfully reduce the underlying cause of indoor/outdoor allergies and related conditions. It is frequently practiced by using allergen extracts for shots or allergy tablets. Treatment plans are customized to the individual patient based on medical profile, test results, and lifestyle needs.

Can my child use Curex?

Curex serves adults and children as young as 5 years old. Certain tests and treatments may be limited for younger kids. Start by answering the quiz, so that our clinicians can recommend the best testing and treatment options.

Does Curex treat food allergies?

Curex currently treats allergies to tree, weed, grass pollens, pet allergies, dust mites, mold, and cockroach. We do not treat food, metal, venom, or flower allergies.

What is your cancellation policy?

Treatments are shipped in 3-month installments in all plans. Cancellations are accepted prior to the next refill being compounded by the pharmacy (so you can get a partial refund on a prepayment plan). To cancel or pause subscriptions, please email our team at hi@getcurex.com.

How does allergy testing work?

Depending on your location, we send a phlebotomist (medical assistant) to your home or office for a simple blood draw (not a finger prick). This sample is then processed using hospital-grade technology to produce accurate results. In some areas, you may need to go into a local lab for your blood draw. We work with LabCorp and Quest Diagnostics. This is an IgE blood test that results in more accurate results compared to finger prick tests that are available online through some companies. This is not a skin scratch test where an allergist spends 30+ minutes injecting you with small doses of allergens to see if any swelling or reaction occurs.

Is sublingual immunotherapy safe?

Studies have shown a significantly lower risk for anaphylaxis relative to allergy shots, allowing you to take them in the comfort of your own home. If recommended by your Curex-affiliated clinician, or if you prefer, your first dose may be monitored to ensure proper usage. Clinicians will also assist in helping you manage any side effects that you may experience.

How to Recognize if You're Allergic to Aftershaves

Recognizing an allergy to aftershaves requires understanding common symptoms of allergic reactions and focusing on exposure to aftershave products. Follow this guide to accurately assess your condition.

Identify Common Allergy Symptoms

Skin Irritation: Look for signs such as redness, itching, or hives on the areas where aftershave is applied.
Burning Sensation: A persistent or unusual burning feeling on the skin can indicate sensitivity to aftershaves.
Swelling: Observe any swelling on facial areas where the aftershave contacts the skin.

Monitor Effects After Application

Timing of Symptoms: Check if symptoms appear shortly after aftershave application and resolve when usage is discontinued.

Conduct a Patch Test

Patch Testing: Apply a small amount of aftershave on a less visible skin area like the inside of your elbow and wait 24-48 hours to see if any reaction occurs.

Evaluate Ingredients

Check Labels: Review the ingredient list of your aftershaves and identify common allergens such as alcohol, fragrances, or preservatives.

Consult a Professional

Seek Medical Advice: If unsure, visit a dermatologist or allergist, who may perform more conclusive allergy tests or provide guidance based on your symptoms.

Tips for Avoiding Aftershaves Allergy

‍

Read the Ingredients

Before purchasing an aftershave, carefully review the ingredients list for common allergens such as alcohol, fragrances, or specific preservatives that might trigger allergies. Opting for products with fewer and more natural ingredients can help reduce the risk of allergic reactions.

Do a Patch Test

Perform a patch test by applying a small amount of the aftershave to a limited area of your skin. Wait for 24 to 48 hours to see if any adverse reaction occurs. This helps ensure that the product is safe for your use and minimizes potential allergic reactions.

Choose Hypoallergenic Products

Opt for hypoallergenic aftershaves that are specifically designed for sensitive skin. These products are formulated to be gentler and less likely to cause allergic reactions, keeping your skin comfortable and irritation-free.

Follow Up with Moisturizer

After applying aftershave, use a gentle, unscented moisturizer to soothe and hydrate the skin. This can help alleviate any potential irritation and protect your skin barrier from reacting adversely to the aftershave ingredients.

Diet to Ease Aftershaves Allergy Symptoms

Incorporate Anti-Inflammatory Foods

Consume foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids like salmon, walnuts, and flaxseeds as they help reduce inflammation and allergic reactions.
Include more leafy greens such as spinach and kale, which are high in antioxidants that fight inflammation.

Boost Your Vitamin Intake

Embrace foods high in vitamin C like oranges, strawberries, and bell peppers to help strengthen your immune system.
Ensure proper intake of vitamin E by consuming nuts, seeds, and green vegetables.

Strengthen Gut Health

Yogurt and fermented foods such as sauerkraut are rich in probiotics; they promote a healthy gut environment, possibly lowering allergic responses.
Add prebiotic-rich foods like garlic and onions to influence beneficial gut bacteria positively.

Hydration and Herbal Teas

Drink plenty of water to help flush out toxins and allergens from your body efficiently.
Herbal teas like chamomile and ginger have calming effects that might aid in soothing allergy symptoms.

What Food Worsens Aftershaves Allergy

Foods to Avoid for Aftershaves Allergy

Spicy Foods: Ingredients such as chili peppers and hot sauces can exacerbate symptoms by irritating the skin.
Processed Foods: Preservatives and artificial additives found in processed foods might trigger allergic reactions.
Citrus Fruits: The acidic nature of fruits like lemons and oranges can heighten skin sensitivity.
Alcohol: Drinks containing alcohol may increase blood flow to the skin, worsening irritation and redness.
Fermented Foods: Foods like sauerkraut and kimchi contain histamines, which can aggravate allergy symptoms.
Nuts and Seeds: These can sometimes cross-react with fragrance chemicals found in aftershaves, intensifying the allergy.

Tips for Managing Symptoms

Allergy FAQ

‍

Can an aftershave allergy occur with both alcohol-based and alcohol-free products?

Can Aftershave Allergy Occur with Any Product?

Yes, aftershave allergies can occur with both alcohol-based and alcohol-free products. The allergy is often caused by other ingredients like fragrances, essential oils, or preservatives.

Alcohol can cause skin irritation but may not be the allergen itself. People can react to various components in aftershaves, such as parabens or botanical extracts, leading to allergic reactions.

It is recommended to perform a patch test before using a new product to identify potential allergens and prevent allergic reactions.

How can someone distinguish between an aftershave allergy and a razor burn?

Distinguishing Between Aftershave Allergy and Razor Burn

**Symptoms Location**: Aftershave allergies typically cause itching, rashes, or hives on areas where the product was applied, while razor burn mainly affects areas where hair was removed.

**Symptoms Duration**: Allergic reactions may persist or worsen over time without treatment, whereas razor burn often subsides within a few hours to a few days.

**Appearance**: Aftershave allergy may present with swelling or blisters, while razor burn usually manifests as redness or small red bumps.

Are there specific ingredients in aftershaves known to trigger allergies more frequently?

Common Allergens in Aftershaves

**Fragrances:** Frequently cause allergic reactions due to synthetic compounds.

**Preservatives:** Ingredients such as parabens and formaldehyde releasers can trigger allergies.

**Alcohol:** Many aftershaves contain alcohol, which can irritate sensitive skin.

**Essential Oils:** Natural doesn't always mean safe; oils like lavender or tea tree can cause reactions.
