Call poison control, call your normal doctor and explain the situation...
If you are talking about curing the reaction if it is an allergic, you will end up going to a specialist. I have heard that a Chiropractor or a Chinese doctor (a Chinese trained acupuncturist with a herbal back ground in Chinese medicine) can help cure the allergy if it is one.

It depends on what they are having a reaction to. Normally the first thing you do is get them away from the source of the problem. Then you treat the symptoms, sometimes with benadryl or, if the reaction is serious enough with an inhaler or epinephrine. If they are having trouble breathing, call 9-1-1. If you are unsure what they are having an allergic reaction to, start with your regular doctor and get a referral to an allergist.

It would depend on the severity of the reaction. If you are unsure how bad it I would recommend the emergency room. You should take a sample of the chemical you believe caused the problem or as much information about it as you can. If it is just a mild irritation your general practitioner should be able to help you or refer you to a specialist.

To a chemical, you should first go to the ER if it is a violent reaction. If it is mild, you should remove the chemical and see an allergy specialist. Most often, you can only remove the chemical. Most allergy medicine is for pollen, pets, and foods.

ur gonna have to see ur primary care doc 1st and get a referral to an allergists. its very important though since the chemical that gave u a reaction could very well be in other ingredients that you may think are safe.
good luck.

First of all, go to the emergency room. Otherwise, you would see an allergist/immunologist for most allergies.

If it is ingested, call Poison Control 18002221222 right away.
If it is external, see a dermatologist
