Skin Allergy & Rash Treatment in Johor Bahru

Alahan Kulit

Skin allergies are extremely common in Malaysia's tropical climate, ranging from eczema and contact dermatitis to urticaria (hives) and fungal infections. Hot and humid conditions promote skin irritation, while exposure to chemicals, plants, and insects can trigger allergic reactions requiring medical treatment.

Symptoms of Skin Allergy & Rash

Red, itchy patches or rash
Swelling or hives (raised welts)
Dry, flaking, or cracking skin
Blisters or oozing from affected areas
Burning or stinging sensation
Skin darkening in chronic areas

⚠️ When to See a Doctor

See a doctor if the rash covers a large area, is spreading rapidly, involves the face or genitals, is accompanied by fever, or does not improve with over-the-counter treatment within a week. Seek urgent care for swelling of the face, lips, or throat.
