Itchy Skin
People with Scrubs Allergy often experience an intense, persistent itch. The itch might be prevalent all over the body or localized to the areas where Scrubs have come into direct contact with the skin.
Redness and Inflammation
The skin may turn red and become inflamed, often accompanied by a burning sensation. This irritation is generally more intense on sensitive areas of the skin or anywhere the Scrubs have been applied.
Rash or Bumps
Upon contact with Scrubs, some individuals may develop a rash or small bumps. These reactions are typically localized and can range from mild to severe, depending on the individual's sensitivity.
Dryness or Flaking
In individuals with Scrubs Allergy, the skin may become unusually dry or start flaking. This condition results from the irritation caused by the Scrub leading to peeling of the skin layers.
Swelling
Swelling of the skin or in severe cases, swelling of the facial features - such as the lips or eyes, are common symptoms of Scrubs Allergy. The swelling can be painful or tender to touch.
Respiratory Issues
Respiratory problems can occur in more severe cases, most likely due to inhaling the allergens. Symptoms include shortness of breath, wheezing, and coughing. If these symptoms occur, seek medical attention immediately.
