Ответ от Дарья Павлюхина[эксперт]
I spent years like that, but I was lucky.  After 10 yrs swelling and turning blotchy red  and itchy every time I did anything active I started using sensitive washing powder and one of those mineral stones for deodorant.  That did the trick.  I thought I had more allergies than that, but it just seemed that way.I haven't had an allergic reaction for 10 yrs now.  Before that life was a misery.  If you haven't already, try one of those mineral stone deodorants.  They even work better than the chemical ones. You just wet it and rub it on your armpits. They cost about $15 but will last 10 years, so they even save money.And low phosphate clothes washing powder got rid of any remaining allergies.  Now there is only one thing I needed to avoid totally. Its clothes that are new so have a heap of dye still loose in them. Never wear new clothes without washing them a few times first.  Sometimes dyes will still leach out when I sweat, giving me an itchy rash, if the clothes are only a few weeks old.  So to avoid that altogether I wear white cotton office shirts most times.  I feel so much healthier since making those changes.  Almost forgotten what it was like having my tongue swell up so much I couldn't close my mouth, simply because I was hot and sweaty. Ears would close up too, so I couldnt hear, and eyes would close so I couldnt see either. I don't miss those bad old days.Taking antihistamines daily would help, before I recognised the triggers. Even before I had a reaction I'd take a few piriton tablets and I'd have less severe reactions. As you probably know by now, minimising the reactions can cure allergies over a few months.Good luck with it.  If you find anything that helps you it would be great if you could tell us what you did here.  There's a lot of people with our problem. I thought I'd be a mess forever, so its a great surprise to find that I cured myself.  You need to stop anyone else using deodorant in your home too.  Just a touch of it in the air will bring on a reaction when u sweat later in the day.
