I Have Many Allergies. Sometimes If I Touch The Wrong

Question: I have many allergies. Sometimes if I touch the wrong food, blisters pop out all over my hands. Naturally, I try to avoid touching things I think will cause this reaction but it's impossible to be perfect. Is there any OVER-THE-COUNTER cream or med I can buy that will alleviate this problem. Also, at work, when I eat in the cafeteria, sometimes I have bad reactions to the food. About one hour after I eat, I get severe muscle spasms that last one or two hours. Oatmeal, for instance, will do it. I've eaten oatmeal at restaurants before and never had this reaction. They must put something in the oatmeal. Other foods do this also like cokes, other carbonated drinks, and sweet pastries. I do try to avoid these foods but again, is there anything I can buy at a pharmacy that might help?
Brief Answer:
Antihistaminic & topical steroid
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to ask a doctor service
I have gone through your query and understand your concern.
I would recommend you to take antihistaminic like tablet cetrizine 10 mg twice daily for few days whenever you have a reaction.
Also apply topical steroid like cortisone cream on the affected area twice daily for few days.
This should alleviate your symptoms whenever you develop a reaction.
