Redness and Itching
One of the most common symptoms of a cleanser allergy is redness and itching on the skin where the product has been applied. This can be a mild discomfort or develop into severe itchiness, and sometimes even involve swelling.
Hives
Another common symptom would be hives or welts. These are bumps or raised patches that appear red and can be extremely itchy or even painful. The hives might appear where the cleanser was applied or they might spread to other areas of body.
Peeling or Flaking Skin
Skin may also begin to peel or flake off in the area where the cleanser was applied as a symptom. This is caused by the body's reaction to something within the cleanser ingredients that it deems harmful.
Swelling
Swelling of the skin or under the skin can also occur. This can be located in just the area where the cleanser was used, or it might spread to other parts of the body. It might be accompanied by redness and warmth over the swollen area.
Difficulty Breathing
If a person is highly allergic to a cleanser, they may experience respiratory problems. This can result in shortness of breath, wheezing, or even an asthma attack in severe cases.
Anaphylactic Shock
In extreme reactions, a person can go into anaphylactic shock, which is a severe whole-body allergic reaction. Symptoms include a swift drop in blood pressure, nausea, rapid pulse, potentially leading to unconsciousness or death if not immediately treated.
