Defining "allergy" and elucidating the immunopathology of what is too often described as allergic rashes is the objective of this article. The differentiation of inflammatory reactions, which at times is indistinguishable from the immunologic dermatoses is outlined. A rationale plan for management, with indications warranting referral to "the specialist" are suggested.
