Which of the following should be used to treat an allergy of the skin?

Antiseptic
Isopropyl Alcohol
Lotions
Soap and water

The correct answer is: Lotions

Using lotions to treat an allergy of the skin is appropriate because they are often formulated to soothe and moisturize irritated skin. Lotions may contain ingredients that reduce inflammation, hydrate, and protect the skin barrier, which is essential for healing in cases of allergic reactions. They can help alleviate symptoms like dryness, redness, and irritation that frequently accompany skin allergies. In contrast, antiseptics are designed to prevent infection rather than treat allergic reactions. Isopropyl alcohol can be too harsh and may further irritate sensitive, allergic skin rather than provide relief. Soap and water, while helpful for cleaning the skin, do not provide the soothing and moisturizing benefits required to treat the symptoms of an allergy effectively.
