Case Study: Seasonal Allergy-Induced Skin Irritation
Patient Profile:
Sarah M., a 34-year-old teacher in Phoenix, experienced persistent itchy scalp and red, flaky skin every spring. She initially thought it was dandruff but noticed symptoms worsened on high pollen days.
Challenge:
Sarah’s symptoms disrupted her daily comfort and confidence. OTC dandruff shampoos had no effect, and scratching led to mild skin infections.
Diagnosis:
After visiting Enticare Allergy Services, skin patch testing revealed a strong allergic response to pollen and grass allergens.
Treatment Plan:
-
Daily non-drowsy antihistamines during allergy season
-
Medicated shampoo with antifungal and anti-inflammatory properties
-
Twice-daily hypoallergenic moisturizer for skin barrier repair
-
Pollen avoidance measures (showering after outdoor exposure, air purifier at home)
Outcome:
Within three weeks, Sarah reported a 70% reduction in itching and skin redness. After two months, her symptoms were fully managed, allowing her to enjoy outdoor activities again.
Conclusion:
With targeted allergy care from Enticare, Sarah regained comfort and avoided unnecessary skin flare-ups, highlighting the importance of accurate diagnosis and specialized treatment.
