There isn't one single "best" allergy tablet for skin allergies, as the most effective option depends on the individual and their specific allergy. However, common antihistamines used to treat skin allergies include:
- Cetirizine (Zyrtec Allergy)
- Loratadine (Alavert, Claritin)
- Fexofenadine (Allegra Allergy)
- Levocetirizine (Xyzal Allergy 24HR)
- Desloratadine (Clarinex)
These antihistamines work by blocking the effects of histamine, a chemical released by the body during an allergic reaction. Histamine can cause various symptoms like itchy, watery eyes, runny nose, sneezing, and skin rashes.
In some cases, your doctor might prescribe oral corticosteroids for severe skin allergies, like hives or angioedema. These medications help reduce inflammation and suppress the immune system.
For specific recommendations, consult a doctor or allergist to determine the best treatment plan for your individual needs.
