Yes, acupuncture can be helpful for allergies and allergic reactions, if they are not life-threatening. If they are potentially life threatening, such as difficulty breathing, swelling, etc. go to the emergency room!
Yes, acupuncture helps allergic reactions.
I hope you visit the acupuncture clinic near you and get the treatment.

No, it can’t.
Yes! Allergic rash is a commonly treated condition that we have success with greatly reducing. Prior to becoming an acupuncturist, I personally had success with acupuncture reducing allergy symptoms and allergic rash. In fact, I was getting treatments for headaches and noticed I had no symptoms of my regular spring allergies. I asked the acupuncturist and she confirmed that our treatments work to balance the entire body so it makes sense. My own patients have reported eczema disappearing after treatments, but they hadn't reported the eczema as an issue. What a great side effect if your rash reduces! Acupuncture can be very effective with this issue and I encourage you to set up an appointment sooner than later to get ahead of this situation and get some relief.

No, but we have other treatments like diet, herbal medicine, lifestyle change that might help...
Thank you for your question. Acupuncture is helpful when treating a rash. If your rash is caused by contact dermatitis, you would have to eliminate exposure to the cause of the rash.
Acupuncture can help allergic reactions, yes. Given what you've described, you're going to want to make sure you're seeing a provider who is fully trained in Chinese medicine. Go to NCCAOM.org and use their 'Find a Practitioner' lookup to get a list of local, board-certified providers.
