Allergy on the body. How to recognize and defeat it

Allergies (from the Greek "stranger", "impact") - the reaction of the immune system, which provokes any stimulus (allergen). Any sign of hypersensitivity is a violation of immunity. Scientific explanation of this phenomenon - the allocation of human cells in the blood vessels of an increased amount of histamine.

Allergy to the body is manifested in the form of spots, rashes, nodules, which constantly itch, burn and increase in size. Favorite places of such sores are skin folds, stomach, cheeks, lower legs, neck. Itchy spots gradually seize the entire body. When combing the wounds, the skin is damaged, the infection can safely enter the body and cause inflammation. Therefore, allergic spots should be treated immediately, without waiting for them to begin to pass by themselves.
