The involved area, typically skin where the nylon was in direct contact, can develop redness and swelling. This is often a first sign of an allergic reaction.
This intense itching sensation, also known as pruritus, often accompanies skin redness and inflammation. The itching might be severe enough to interfere with daily activities or sleep.
Hives, or welts, are red, raised, itchy skin lesions that may appear at the site of exposure. Hives can vary in size and may join together to form larger areas known as plaques.
The skin can become very dry and may start to peel or flake. This could be accompanied by a feeling of tightness on the skin surface.
In some severe cases, small, fluid-filled blisters can form on the skin. These blisters may break open, ooze, and crust over.
Although less common, some people may experience respiratory symptoms. Difficulty breathing may occur if nylon particles in the air are inhaled, especially in individuals with pre-existing respiratory conditions like asthma.
Recognize your symptoms?

Identify Symptoms of An Allergic Reaction
Before you can determine an allergy to nylon, you must first know what a typical allergic reaction looks like. This can be categorized under two main symptoms – skin reactions and respiratory reactions.
Analyze the Context of Symptoms
If you find that you experience these symptoms following exposure to nylon materials, there is a likelihood that you may be allergic. This includes items like nylon clothing, upholstery, or carpeting. Your symptoms may also worsen during or immediately after wearing or using nylon-based products.
Seek a Diagnosis
If you suspect a nylon allergy, it's crucial to seek medical advice. A dermatologist or allergist can confirm your suspicion with a series of tests. This could involve patch tests where small amounts of nylon are applied to your skin to observe any reaction.
Possible Irritation Versus Allergic Reaction
It's essential to distinguish between an allergic reaction and simple skin irritation. Nylon fabrics can sometimes cause mechanical irritation due to friction against the skin, particularly in sensitive areas. Such irritation is typically transient and resolves once the source of friction is removed, unlike an allergic reaction that would persist and likely worsen with ongoing exposure.

The most straightforward way to avoid a nylon allergy is to steer clear of this material altogether. Look at the labels of clothing, bedding, and upholstery before buying to ensure they do not contain nylon. Consider alternatives such as cotton, silk, linen, or polyester which are less likely to cause an allergic reaction.
If you're not certain about your allergy, it's a good idea to test a small area of your skin before wearing nylon. Dampen a piece of nylon fabric and place it against your skin for about an hour. If you experience any itching, redness, or hives, it's possible you have a nylon allergy and should avoid the material.
If you must wear nylon for any reason, consider using a barrier between your skin and the nylon material to avoid direct contact. This could be a layer of cotton or another non-irritating material. It's crucial to remember that sweat can break down the barrier, so it's not a foolproof method.
In some cases, an antihistamine or another type of allergy medication may reduce symptoms of a nylon allergy. It's important to talk to your doctor before starting any new medication. Keep in mind that this won't solve the problem completely, but it could provide temporary relief.

It’s a physician-prescribed, custom-compounded formula designed to target all your nasal symptoms at once — congestion, runny nose, post-nasal drip, sneezing, and more.

Formulated by doctors and pharmacologists and backed by clinical research, Quickie combines five powerful ingredients into one easy spray.

Typical prescription may include the following ingredients: Azelastine HCL 0.15%, Mometasone Furoate 0.05%, Oxymetazoline HCL 0.0125%, Ipratroprium 0.06%, Sodium Hyaluronate 0.04%.
Straight to the source. That’s Curex


Quickie is a compounded prescription medication, prepared by a licensed pharmacy. It is not reviewed or approved by the FDA. It is prepared based on your provider’s evaluation of your symptoms and needs. Individual results may vary.

Lauren S.
No longer having to go the doctor's office a few times a week for painful shots.
Tony P.
I have done allergy shots in the past but found it pretty inconvenient to go every week. I really like the ease as compared with physically going to the doctors office.

Robert S.
The treatment is much less expensive than a course of allergy shots at a doctor's office and eliminates numerous trips to the doctor's and all the waiting time.
Janie L.
My seasonal allergies were much less severe than years prior. Most importantly, the convenience of taking drops in my own home is unbeatable.

Most patients feel relief within 15 minutes. We have both short-term relief ingredients as well as longer-term relief to keep you feeling better, longer. Some say it’s like turning off their allergies.
Sneezing runny nose, nasal congestion, post-nasal drip, sinus pressure, itchy nose. Great for outdoor allergies, indoor dust, or when pollen spikes unexpectedly.
No, this formula uses a microdose of oxymetazoline, balanced with anti-inflammatory and moisturizing ingredients to reduce the risk of rebound congestion. Clinical studies over the last decade show that when oxymetazoline is combined with a corticosteroid, it can be used safely over the long term without causing rebound symptoms.
Quickie Spray combines up to five prescription-strength ingredients into a single, personalized formula — targeting multiple symptoms like congestion, post-nasal drip, and inflammation. OTC sprays typically address just one symptom and lack the synergy of a customized blend.
Some ingredients like azelastine may cause a slight taste, but many patients find it milder than traditional OTC sprays. Proper spray technique (head forward, not tilted back) helps minimize drip.We also offer an alternative formulation with olopatadine, which has a gentler taste profile and may be preferred by taste-sensitive patients.
Quickie is designed to replace most other allergy medications. But it is designed to compliment allergy immunotherapy for long-term relief. If you’re currently taking other antihistamines or nasal sprays, tell your Curex provider, so we can adjust your formula to avoid overlap or interactions.
No, Quickie is a personalized compounded prescription prepared by licensed U.S. pharmacies based on your doctor’s evaluation. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved as commercial products, but they are regulated under federal and state pharmacy laws.
Possible side effects include nasal dryness, mild irritation, or occasional nosebleeds. These are typically mild and manageable. Let your Curex provider know about any bothersome or serious effects, so we can fine-tune your prescription if needed.
Quickie is safe for daily use, especially during the first 3–6 months of allergy immunotherapy, when symptoms are still active. Your Curex provider may adjust your dose or frequency as your immune system builds tolerance.
Quickie is designed to be non-sedating, so you can use it before work, school, or exercise without feeling groggy or foggy. In rare cases where drowsiness is reported, let your Curex provider know—we can easily adjust the formula to better suit your needs.
Yes, Quickie Spray can be prescribed for children aged 6 and up, based on your provider’s clinical evaluation.
Follow the instructions from your Curex provider.Most patients are advised to use one spray per nostril, twice daily — morning and evening — for consistent relief.
