Are there alternative treatments for skin allergies?

There are some alternative treatments for skin allergies, although their effectiveness hasn't been confirmed by doctors. Certain herbal supplements may help strengthen the immune system, making a skin allergy reaction less likely. Aromatherapy may help some symptoms, although the essential oils used in aromatherapy may actually be a trigger for some skin allergies. The most common alternative to taking medications is probably "avoidance treatment." Avoiding potential allergens by maintaining low-protein or dairy-free diets, wearing gloves or other protective clothing to work, and using natural or organic cosmetic products may help prevent skin allergy reactions.
