As temperatures begin to drop, eczema-prone skin may need a little extra care. 🍂

Cool air, indoor heating, hot showers, and heavier clothing can all dry or irritate sensitive skin.

A few helpful habits:
✅ Choose soft, breathable fabrics
✅ Use fragrance-free skincare products
✅ Moisturize immediately after bathing
✅ Avoid very hot showers
✅ Wash new clothing before wearing it

If eczema flare-ups are frequent, painful, or interfering with everyday life, an allergy evaluation may help identify contributing triggers.

Hello, October! 🍂🎃

Cooler weather, changing routines, fall allergens, sensitive skin, and Halloween treats can all bring unique allergy challenges.

Follow along—and don’t hesitate to reach out if allergies are keeping you or your family from enjoying the season!

Tomorrow begins Food Allergy Awareness Month at Central New York Allergy Associates! 🩵🎃

Throughout October, we’ll be sharing Halloween safety reminders, non-food treat ideas, and information about FARE’s Teal Pumpkin Project.

Food allergies can make holidays and community celebrations stressful for families—but awareness, preparation, and a little inclusion can make a tremendous difference.

Follow along as we work together to create a safer and more welcoming Halloween!

Will your home have a teal pumpkin this Halloween? 🩵
Participating is easy:
🎃 Purchase or paint a pumpkin teal—or display a printable sign
🎁 Offer inexpensive non-food treats
🍬 Keep candy and non-food treats in separate bowls
📣 Encourage friends and neighbors to participate

You can still hand out traditional candy. Offering a separate non-food choice simply helps more children feel safe, welcomed, and included.

September 28 is National Penicillin Allergy Day! 💊

Have you been told you’re allergic to penicillin? You’re not alone. About 10% of people in the U.S. report a penicillin allergy, but fewer than 1% of the population are truly allergic when evaluated.

Knowing whether you have a true allergy matters. An inaccurate allergy label can limit your antibiotic options when you need treatment. An allergist can review your reaction history and determine whether testing or a supervised oral challenge is appropriate for you.

If you’ve carried a penicillin allergy label for years—or aren’t sure what your reaction was—ask your healthcare provider about an evaluation. Don’t try taking penicillin on your own to find out.

October is almost here—and so is the Teal Pumpkin Project! 🩵🎃

Created by FARE—Food Allergy Research & Education—the Teal Pumpkin Project helps make Halloween more inclusive for children with food allergies and others who may not be able to enjoy traditional candy.

Displaying a teal pumpkin outside your home means you have non-food treats available for trick-or-treaters.

Glow sticks, stickers, bubbles, pencils, and small toys are all great options. Start planning now so every child can enjoy the Halloween fun!

Sometimes changing fabrics, skincare products, and daily habits isn’t enough to control eczema.

Consider talking with a specialist if flare-ups are:
• Frequent or increasingly severe
• Painful or disrupting sleep
• Interfering with school, work, or activities
• Not improving with your current routine
• Showing possible signs of infection

An evaluation may help identify environmental or allergic triggers and guide a more personalized treatment plan.

Were you told you had a penicillin allergy as a child—but no one remembers exactly what happened?

You’re not alone. Some childhood rashes were caused by the illness itself rather than the medication, and certain true medication allergies may decrease over time.

Carrying an inaccurate allergy label can limit future treatment options. A formal allergy evaluation can help provide a clearer, more current answer.

Never test an old allergy on your own. Medication testing should only be performed under appropriate medical supervision.

When it comes to eczema-prone skin, “fragrance-free” matters. 🧴

Fragrances, dyes, and harsh ingredients can irritate an already-weakened skin barrier. When choosing cleansers, moisturizers, sunscreen, or laundry detergent, look for gentle products formulated for sensitive skin.

A helpful routine:
1. Bathe in lukewarm—not hot—water.
2. Gently pat the skin dry.
3. Apply moisturizer while the skin is still slightly damp.

Consistency is one of the best tools for protecting sensitive skin.

Could your clothing be contributing to eczema irritation? 👕

Tight clothing and synthetic fabrics can trap heat and sweat against sensitive skin. Friction may also worsen itching and inflammation.

Loose, breathable fabrics are often more comfortable for eczema-prone skin. Consider trying:
🤍 100% cotton
🤍 Linen
🤍 Bamboo

And remember to wash new clothing before wearing it to help remove dyes, fragrances, or manufacturing residue that may irritate sensitive skin.
