I have 10 years old daughter, and she used to be sick very often since she is born. We always gave her the best doctors and the best possible treatment she could get. Last few weeks we have noticed her chin was very itchy, but no rash. When we talk to the doctor, he said it could be asthma, according to previous problems. I would like to know if that is true, does very itchy skin without rash could be sign of asthma or any other allergic condition.

Recognizing the signs and symptoms of asthma is an important part of managing this disorder. Knowing when early warning signs or mild symptoms are occurring is very helpful. This way treatment and other interventions can begin early. Early treatment is most effective, but if severe symptoms are present, it is vital to begin the appropriate treatment immediately. Accurate and timely assessment of your child's symptoms can help you and your clinician decide about treatment. It depends of type if it should begin in the home, at clinician's office or in the emergency room. Early warning signs are experienced before start asthma episodes. By recognizing some clues that occur before actual asthma symptoms, early treatment can be started and you might expect earlier healing. These signs are unique to each person, so I cannot exactly tell you whether very itchy skin of chin without rash is always sign for asthma. Although, that is not too rare, probably her doctor is right, and he will be able to diagnose her after some exams he is going to perform soon. That is very important he doubted immediately when he say very itchy skin without rash, about allergic condition, because of early treatment.
