Redness and Irritation on the Skin
An individual with Amyl Cinnamal allergy may notice redness and irritation on the skin, especially on areas exposed to the allergen. This could range from a subtle reddish hue to inflamed, angry-looking skin.
Itching
One of the most common symptoms is itching. The skin area in contact with the allergen can become itchy and uncomfortable, causing the individual to scratch, leading to further irritation and possible skin damage.
Swelling
An immediate allergic response can cause the skin to swell. This often occurs around the area where the allergen has come into contact with the skin. However, it can also affect other parts of the body, depending on the severity of the reaction.
Fluid-Filled Bumps or Hives
Some individuals develop fluid-filled bumps or hives on the skin – raised, itchy bumps that may be red or skin-colored. These can appear where the allergen touched the skin or spread to other areas of the body.
Dry, Scaly or Cracky Skin
In response to constant irritation and inflammation, the skin may become dry, scaly, or even cracky. Such symptoms heighten the discomfort and can lead to a secondary bacterial infection if left untreated.
Facial Swelling
Although less common, some people with a severe Amyl Cinnamal allergy may experience facial swelling, especially around the mouth and eyes. This can be a sign of a more serious, systemic allergic reaction and needs immediate medical attention.
