Fragrance Allergy

Fragrance allergy is an immune system reaction to certain scents found in perfumes, cosmetics, and household products. When someone with this allergy encounters these fragrances, their immune system mistakenly views them as harmful, causing symptoms like skin redness, itching, swelling, or rashes. In some cases, exposure may also lead to respiratory issues such as sneezing or asthma-like symptoms. The allergy varies between individuals and can develop over time. The best way to prevent reactions is to avoid products with added fragrances and choose fragrance-free options, especially if you have known sensitivities.
