The perfume allergy can be observed when the area where the perfume is sprayed becomes red, irritated and itchy. However, some individuals are allergic to perfume, but have no skin changes, only complaining of nose irritation, watery eyes, and coughing when they smell the perfume in the air.
Although allergy to perfume is uncommon, it is not fatal and can be easily identified in an allergy examination by an allergist. These patients should avoid as much as possible the use of perfumes, cologne, eau de parfum and creams, shampoos, conditioners and perfumed soaps.
In addition, care must be taken not to use perfumed household cleaners or containing substances such as Lyral, the natural essence of geraniol and rose oil, as these are some of the most susceptible to allergy and therefore are always identified in packaging of products.
An alternative for individuals who are allergic to perfume is to spray perfume away, on clothing, on the porch or in the yard, a few hours before dressing it, so the concentration of the perfume decreases and the risk of allergy decreases considerably.
If any product that causes allergy in the individual comes in contact with the skin and remains irritated, it is recommended to pass a cortisone cream in the area for a few days.
