Curex is the place to go for all your allergy questions and needs. Led by healthcare entrepreneurs and allergy clinicians, Curex is an integrated, online telemedicine clinic for people who suffer from environmental allergies (e.g., indoor, outdoor or pet), asthma, and eczema.

Curex is the largest online allergy and asthma clinic in the U.S. We started because our clinicians wanted to offer more convenient and affordable allergy and asthma care for everyone. So far we have attracted more than 50,000 customers from every U.S. state. We are proud to have the highest patient satisfaction and loyalty rates in the industry. Our service has been audited and certified by LegitScript.com.

What services do you offer?

Curex provides comprehensive care for those suffering from allergies, asthma, and eczema. This includes customized sublingual immunotherapy, at-home concierge allergy testing, and symptom management. Our goal is to provide accessibility and quality of allergy care in the U.S.

Does Curex accept insurance?

Curex accepts the majority of insurance plans across the United States, including Aetna, Anthem, United, Humana, and others. While it is difficult to estimate out-of-pocket costs prior to a claim being submitted, our team will work with you to make sure your treatment is as affordable as possible. For that purpose, we also cap copays at $500/year. In addition, Curex accepts HSA and FSA.

What conditions do you treat?

We focus on indoor and outdoor allergies caused by environmental or inhalant allergies, like those caused by pollens, weeds, grasses, dust mites, molds, and pets. We also treat allergic asthma and eczema, as these conditions are closely related to allergies.

What is immunotherapy?

Immunotherapy is a longstanding form of treatment that aims to meaningfully reduce the underlying cause of indoor/outdoor allergies and related conditions. It is frequently practiced by using allergen extracts for shots or allergy tablets. Treatment plans are customized to the individual patient based on medical profile, test results, and lifestyle needs.

Can my child use Curex?

Curex serves adults and children as young as 5 years old. Certain tests and treatments may be limited for younger kids. Start by answering the quiz, so that our clinicians can recommend the best testing and treatment options.

Does Curex treat food allergies?

Curex currently treats allergies to tree, weed, grass pollens, pet allergies, dust mites, mold, and cockroach. We do not treat food, metal, venom, or flower allergies.

What is your cancellation policy?

Treatments are shipped in 3-month installments in all plans. Cancellations are accepted prior to the next refill being compounded by the pharmacy (so you can get a partial refund on a prepayment plan). To cancel or pause subscriptions, please email our team at hi@getcurex.com.

How does allergy testing work?

Depending on your location, we send a phlebotomist (medical assistant) to your home or office for a simple blood draw (not a finger prick). This sample is then processed using hospital-grade technology to produce accurate results. In some areas, you may need to go into a local lab for your blood draw. We work with LabCorp and Quest Diagnostics. This is an IgE blood test that results in more accurate results compared to finger prick tests that are available online through some companies. This is not a skin scratch test where an allergist spends 30+ minutes injecting you with small doses of allergens to see if any swelling or reaction occurs.

Is sublingual immunotherapy safe?

Studies have shown a significantly lower risk for anaphylaxis relative to allergy shots, allowing you to take them in the comfort of your own home. If recommended by your Curex-affiliated clinician, or if you prefer, your first dose may be monitored to ensure proper usage. Clinicians will also assist in helping you manage any side effects that you may experience.

Key Symptoms of Bronzers Allergy

Skin Redness

One of the initial symptoms of a bronzers allergy is skin redness. The skin might develop a reddish color in areas where the bronzer has been applied, indicating an irritant or allergic reaction to one or more of the product's ingredients.

Itching

Itching is a common sign of an allergic reaction. This sensation might be triggered even if there's no visible irritation on the skin. The itching could become severe leading to discomfort.

Swelling

Swelling is another symptom that indicates an allergy. You may notice certain parts of your face or body (where the bronzer is applied) becoming swollen, as a response to the allergen.

Dryness and Flaking

Dry and flaking skin is often the result of an allergic reaction to bronzers. The skin might become overly dry in areas of application, and start to peel or flake off due to irritation.

Burning Sensation

Another possible symptom of a bronzers allergy is a burning sensation on the skin. This discomfort may occur soon after the bronzer's application and may persist for a prolonged period if left untreated.

Hives

In severe cases, hives may develop as a symptom of a bronzers allergy. These are raised, itchy bumps on the skin, appearing as a symptom of the body's reaction to an allergen.

How to Recognize if You're Allergic to Bronzers

Recognize the Symptoms of Bronzers Allergies

Product allergies like those caused by bronzers can often mimic the typical allergic reactions. While it may be challenging to single out a bronzer allergy, the following symptoms can be indicative:

Redness or Irritation: Immediately after using a bronzer, if you notice your skin becoming red or feeling itchy, you may have an allergy.
Rashes or Bumps: Small, raised bumps or rashes on the areas where you have applied the bronzer can be a possible sign of an allergic reaction.
Swelling: Any swelling particularly around your face where you've applied your bronzer could signify an allergic reaction.
Pain or burning sensation: A sensation of pain or burning on the skin can be a sign of allergies.

Identify Bronzer as the Culprit

Once you've noticed the allergic symptoms, it's crucial to figure out if they are indeed related to your use of bronzer. Here's how you can do it.

Elimination Process: Stop using the bronzer for a while and see if the symptoms alleviate. If they do, reapply the bronzer, if the symptoms reappear, it's likely you are allergic to it.
Switch Brands: Consider changing your bronzer to a different brand. If the symptoms persist, you may be allergic to an ingredient common in bronzers. If not, you were likely allergic to an ingredient specific to the previous brand.
Consult a Dermatologist: If you're still unsure, consult a dermatologist. They can run tests to determine your allergies, including a possible bronzer allergy.

Note

It's important to remember that not everyone will exhibit the same symptoms. Some individuals may also experience severe reactions like difficulty breathing. In such cases, seek immediate medical attention.

Tips for Avoiding Bronzers Allergy

‍

Research the Ingredients

The first step towards avoiding allergies from bronzers is understanding what's in them. Review their ingredient list and research any unknown substance. Some people are allergic to specific chemicals, and hence being aware of the composition aids in avoiding potential allergens.

Perform a Patch Test

Before applying the bronzer to your face, conduct a patch test. Apply a small amount of the bronzer on your wrist or behind your ear. Wait for 24 to 48 hours to see if any reaction occurs. If your skin reacts negatively, it's best to avoid using that particular product.

Choose Hypoallergenic Products

Hypoallergenic bronzers are designed to minimize allergic reactions. They are free from common allergens and are often a safe option for those with sensitive skin or known allergies. Remember, though, hypoallergenic doesn't necessarily mean allergen-free – it's still possible to react even to these products.

Consult a Dermatologist

If you're unsure about what product to use, consulting a dermatologist can be helpful. They can perform allergy tests, helping you determine what substances cause you to break out and avoid those ingredients in your bronzer. They can also recommend specific bronzers for your skin type.

Diet to Ease Bronzers Allergy Symptoms

The symptoms of bronzer allergy can diminish by adopting certain dietary habits. The main focus should be on foods that reduce the body's inflammatory response, which plays a key role in allergic reactions.

Foods rich in Omega-3 Fatty Acids

Fish: Salmon, mackerel, and sardines are rich in omega-3 fatty acids which may help moderate allergic reactions.
Flaxseeds and Chia Seeds: Besides fish, these seeds are one of the best plant-based sources for omega-3.

Include Probiotics

Yogurt: It is a natural probiotic that can boost your gut health thus helping your body's response to allergens.
Fermented Foods: Pickles, kimchi and sauerkraut are good options.

Foods High in Quercetin

Apples, Berries, and Onions: Quercetin acts as a natural antihistamine that can help reduce allergy symptoms.

Vitamin C

Citrus Fruits: Oranges, lemons, grapefruits, and others provide Vitamin C which acts as a natural antihistamine.
Bell Peppers and Broccoli: These are also rich in Vitamin C.

Remember, each person is different, so, what works for someone else might not work for you. It's always best to consult with a healthcare professional or dietitian.

What Food Worsens Bronzers Allergy

People with a Bronzers allergy might experience aggravation of their symptoms upon consuming certain foods. Here's a list of some foods that can potentially worsen Bronzers allergy symptoms if consumed:

Foods Containing Artificial Colors and Preservatives

Processed Foods: Most of the processed foods contain artificial colors and preservatives which can trigger bronzer allergy symptoms.
Soft Drinks and Juices: These typically contain added colors and preservatives that might worsen allergy symptoms.

Dairy Products

Milk and Cheese: Dairy products such as milk, cheese, and butter contain proteins, which some people are allergic to causing aggravation of symptoms.

High Histamine Foods

Fermented Foods: Foods like sauerkraut, vinegar, soy sauce, kefir, yogurt, and kombucha are high in histamine and can exacerbate bronzer allergy symptoms.
Alcohol: Most alcohols, especially wine, champagne, and beer have a high histamine content.

Nuts and Seeds

Almonds, Cashews, and Peanuts: These are common allergens and can worsen bronzer allergy symptoms in some individuals.

Everyone reacts differently to foods and these are potential triggers. It might be helpful to keep a food diary to track what worsens your symptoms. However, medical advice should be sought for a better understanding and management of the condition.

Allergy FAQ

‍

What makes Bronzers unusual compared to other allergens?

What Makes Bronzers Unusual Compared to Other Allergens?

Bronzers, typically used in cosmetics for a sun-kissed glow, often contain a mixture of synthetic chemicals and natural extracts that can trigger unique allergic responses.

Unlike common allergens like pollen or dust, bronzers may combine multiple allergenic substances, making identification and avoidance challenging.

Factors such as the formulation, brand-specific ingredients, and concentration levels in bronzers contribute to varying user reactions, differing significantly from standard allergens.

How does Bronzers affect indoor air quality?

Impact of Bronzers on Indoor Air Quality

Bronzers can release volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into the air. These chemicals can contribute to poor indoor air quality.

Particles from bronzers may linger in the air, potentially irritating the respiratory system, especially for those with sensitive airways or allergies.

Inefficient ventilation can exacerbate the accumulation of bronzer particles, further degrading the air quality.

Are there common cross-reactivities with Bronzers allergy?

Cross-Reactivities in Bronzers Allergy

Bronzers often contain ingredients like fragrances, dyes, and preservatives, which can cause allergic reactions. Individuals sensitive to bronzers might also react to other cosmetic products with similar components.

Fragrances are a common allergen, and people with fragrance allergies might react to perfumes, lotions, and scented skincare products.

Common preservatives like parabens and formaldehyde releasers can cause cross-reactivity with other personal care items or household products containing these substances.
