Abstract
The effect of cromolyn on allergen‐induced allergic skin reactions was studied. Two patients with allergic rhinitis, two patients with bronchial asthma and atopic dermatitis and two patients with allergic rhinitis and atopic dermatitis were included in this study. They were allergic to cedar pollen, house dust mite and house dust, respectively. Scratching with allergen induced wheal and erythema reactions in each patient. Simultaneous application of allergen and cromolyn solution did not modulate allergic reactions; however, pretreatment with cromolyn solution inhibited allergen‐induced wheal and erythema reactions significantly.Keywords
