Redness and Swelling
Exposed areas might become red and inflamed following contact with bleaching agents. This could include swelling on the skin area which was in direct contact with the bleaching agent or even parts of the body where the agent fumes were inhaled.
Rash or Hives
One of the significant symptoms of a bleaching agents allergy is the appearance of a rash or hives on the skin. This often indicates contact dermatitis, a common reaction to irritants or allergens.
Burning Sensation
The exposed skin may experience a burning sensation, enduring pain, or discomfort. This is due to the bleach's corrosive properties, which can result in chemical burns.
Coughing or Difficulty Breathing
If the bleach or its fumes are inhaled, it could cause respiratory symptoms such as persistent coughing or difficulty in breathing which indicates an allergic reaction.
Watery, Red, or Itchy Eyes
If bleach fumes reach the eyes, it can trigger an allergic reaction resulting in itchy, watery, red or swollen eyes. This can also happen if the bleach indirectly comes in contact with the eyes.
Anaphylactic Reaction
In extreme cases, exposure to bleach can result in an anaphylactic reaction in those who are highly allergic. Symptoms of anaphylaxis include skin reactions, low pulse rate, difficulty in breathing, dizziness or fainting, and, in some cases, nausea or vomiting.
