Allergic skin reaction and itching

La skin is like a external barrier at body, which defends against external pitfalls, and among these pitfalls are some allergenic agents, such as the nickel, which we come in contact with daily by touching coins, cell phones, eyeglasses and many other objects that contain it and are capable of causing an allergic skin reaction.
There are many other substances that make the skin allergic, such as manicure polish, soaps, some perfumes, and other products.
If an allergic reaction develops most likely a skin reaction and intense itching may appear. To stop the disorder, the trigger must be identified immediately by stopping its use.
To soothe the itching, after washing the affected area with water, an Aloe gel, or a zinc oxide paste can be applied.
