Allergic reactions can produce a wide range of symptoms, although a rash is the most common. Rashes can be caused by many forms of allergies, including contact dermatitis, which is when physically touching an object or substance produces a red, swollen, or sore rash or even a blister. If you are experiencing an allergic reaction and you do not know what is causing it, it is imperative to receive an allergy test as soon as possible.

How long does an allergic reaction last?

Allergic reactions last for varying lengths of time: they may take a few hours to a few days to completely disappear. Allergic reactions may last for longer periods such as a few weeks to months, if the exposure to the allergen continues, such as during a spring pollen season. Even with sufficient and appropriate treatment, some allergic reactions may take several weeks to go away. A rash caused by an allergic reaction typically develops within minutes to hours of exposure and can last two to four weeks.

What does an allergic reaction rash look like?

There are several different types of rashes that can form from an allergic reaction. In general, rashes have a red appearance, can form in little bumps or large elevated areas of skin, are itchy, can appear flakey, and maybe warm or tender to the touch. Common types of allergic rashes include:

Contact Dermatitis
• Appears hours to days after contacting an allergen
• Has visible borders and appears where the skin touched the irritant
• Skin is itchy, red, scaly, or raw
• Blisters that weep, ooze or become crusty

Allergic Eczema
• May resemble a burn
• Often found on hands and forearms
• Skin is itchy, red, scaly, or raw
• Blisters that weep, ooze or become crusty

Drug Allergy
• Mild, itchy, red rash that occurs hours, days, or weeks after taking a drug
• Hives, swelling, itching, and difficulty breathing
• Tiny purple or red dots on the skin

If your rash does not fit the description of any of these symptoms, you should have your rash evaluated by a medical professional as soon as possible.

How can you tell if a rash is serious?

Signs and symptoms that indicate a rash is a serious include:

• A fever or pain accompanying the rash
• A sudden spreading of bruise-like lesions
• A rash that continues unabated
• Any rash that is widespread
• Rashes that start to blister, unless it is caused by poison ivy
• Purple spots that appear on your hands and feet, as could be a sign of an infection of the heart
• A circular-shaped rash, especially if you are in an area where Lyme disease is endemic
