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 Eyelash Glue Allergy

Redness and Irritation

The skin around the eyes may become red and irritated as a reaction to the eyelash glue. This is a common sign of an allergic reaction.

Swelling

This includes puffiness around the eyes, especially the eyelids. Swelling could become severe and can cause discomfort.

Discharge

A thick, often sticky, substance may be present in the eyes due to an allergic reaction to eyelash glue. The discharge could be clear or a yellowish color.

Watery Eyes

The eyes may produce more tears than normal, causing them to appear watery. This usually results from eye irritation.

Itchiness

Due to an allergic reaction, the eyes or skin around the eyes might become itchy and uncomfortable.

Difficulty in Opening Eyes

The excessive swelling and irritation can result in difficulty in opening the eyes. This may be particularly noticeable upon waking up in the morning.

How to Recognize if You're Allergic to Eyelash Glue

Understand Eyelash Glue Allergy Symptoms

Redness and Irritation: If you notice redness, swelling or irritation around your eyelids or eyes after attaching false eyelashes with glue, this could be an indication of an allergy to the glue.

<li><i>Itching</i>: An intense itching sensation around your eyelids or eyes after applying false eyelashes with glue could be another sign. Make sure this itching is not due to the irritation from the false eyelashes themselves but specifically from the glue.</li>

<li><i>Tearing</i>: Excessive tearing or watery eyes could be another significant symptom of an allergic reaction to eyelash glue.</li>

<li><i>Discharge</i>: Unusual or increased discharge from your eyes after using eyelash glue could signal an allergic reaction.</li>

Note the Immediate Eyelash Glue After-Effects

Timing: Allergic reactions usually occur soon after the eyelash glue comes in contact with your skin. If these symptoms occur within a few hours of applying the eyelashes, this could indicate an allergy.

<li><i>Persistence</i>: If the symptoms persist even after the removal of the eyelashes, this could further suggest an allergic reaction to the eyelash glue.</li>

Confirm Your Suspicions with a Patch Test

In case of strong suspicions of an eyelash glue allergy, perform a patch test. Apply a small amount of the glue on another part of your skin, such as the inside of your forearm. Wait for 24 hours. If the skin develops redness, swelling, itching, or any other allergic symptom, you can confirm your allergy to eyelash glue.

Tips for Avoiding Eyelash Glue Allergy

‍

Choose Hypoallergenic Glue

Selecting a hypoallergenic lash glue can significantly reduce the chances of an allergic reaction. These glues are specially formulated to be gentle on your eyes and contain fewer chemicals that can trigger an allergic response. Make sure to check the product label before you purchase any eyelash adhesive.

Perform a Patch Test

Before you apply the glue to your eyelashes, it is crucial to perform a patch test on a small part of your skin, preferably the inner arm. Apply a tiny amount of glue to your skin and wait for 24 hours. If there is no reaction, it's safe to use; otherwise, opt for a different product.

Apply Glue Correctly

Always ensure you are applying the glue correctly. This means using an appropriate amount and not getting the glue too close to your eye. Too much glue or misapplication can lead to irritation or an allergy. It's best to use a fine-tip applicator for precise application.

Proper Aftercare

Looking after your lashes properly once they're on can also help prevent allergic reactions. This includes not rubbing your eyes, not using oil-based makeup removers, and removing your lashes carefully. The adhesive should always be fully removed after lash use.

Diet to Ease Eyelash Glue Allergy Symptoms

While there's no specific diet to ease eyelash glue allergy, including foods that boost your immune system and have natural antihistamine properties can help alleviate allergy symptoms.

Foods to Boost the Immune System

Citrus fruits: These fruits are high in vitamin C which is known to boost the immune system.
Broccoli: It's packed with vitamins C, A, and E, as well as fiber.
Garlic: Garlic's immune-boosting properties come from a concentration of sulfur-containing compounds.
Ginger: This can help decrease inflammation, which can support the immune system.

Foods with Natural Antihistamines

Onions and peppers: Quercetin, found in onions and peppers, has antihistamine and anti-inflammatory effects.
Fish: Rich in Omega-3 Fatty Acids, fish can help lower allergy symptoms.
Green tea: It contains a natural antihistamine called EGCG which can help reduce allergy symptoms.

Remember, food can help manage symptoms, but it's also vital to seek medical advice for proper diagnosis and treatment.

What Food Worsens Eyelash Glue Allergy

The impact of diet on Eyelash Glue Allergy symptoms hasn't been widely studied and there aren't specific foods reported to worsen these symptoms. However, some people find that certain foods might aggravate their allergy symptoms in general. Such foods are:

Foods Containing Histamine

Cheese: Aged and fermented cheeses like camembert and brie are high in histamine.
Processed Meats: Smoked or cured meats like bacon, pepperoni, and cold cuts can contain high amounts of histamine.
Alcoholic Beverages: Drinks like beer and wine can have considerable levels of histamine.

Food Additives

Artificial Sweeteners: Aspartame is a common sweetener that can trigger an allergic reaction in some people.
Color Additives: Certain additives such as Red 40 and Yellow 5 are known to cause allergic reactions.

Although these foods might aggravate allergy symptoms, everyone is different. If you have Eyelash Glue Allergy and notice that certain foods worsen your symptoms, it would be wise to avoid them.

Allergy FAQ

‍

How to identify if an allergy is specifically caused by eyelash glue?

Identify Eyelash Glue Allergy

Monitor symptoms such as redness, itching, or swelling around the eyes shortly after applying eyelash glue.

Conduct a patch test by applying a small amount of the glue on your forearm and observing for any allergic reactions over 24-48 hours.

Note whether symptoms subside when you stop using the glue, indicating it could be the allergen.

Consider consulting a dermatologist or allergist for an official diagnosis, which may include skin or allergy tests.

What should be checked in eyelash glue labels to avoid allergens?

Check for Key Ingredients

Look for latex, formaldehyde, and cyanoacrylate as they are common allergens in eyelash glue.
Consider acrylates and methacrylates, which may also cause allergic reactions.

Read Labels for Safety Markings

Verify if the product is labeled as hypoallergenic or tested by dermatologists to reduce allergy risk.

Patch Test Recommendations

Ensure the product recommends conducting a patch test to check for potential skin reactions before full application.

Are there hypoallergenic eyelash glue options available?

Hypoallergenic Eyelash Glue Options

Designed for sensitive skin, hypoallergenic eyelash glues minimize the risk of allergic reactions. These formulas are typically free from latex and formaldehyde, common allergens that can cause irritation.

Popular brands offer latex-free options that ensure a secure hold without compromising the user's safety. Always check the labeling to verify hypoallergenic claims before purchasing a product.

If you experience irritation, discontinue use and consult a dermatologist. Patch testing on a small skin area prior to full application can help identify potential allergies.
