I'm dealing with these skin allergies that look a lot like mosquito bites all over my body. My blood test showed I have a high IgE count of 2000, and even though I've been on medication for over three months, the allergies keep coming back as soon as I stop the treatment. It feels like it's getting worse every day. Is there anything I can do for a more permanent solution?

High IgE count (>2000) indicates an overactive immune response, leading to increased histamine release and allergic reactions. Current Treatment Limitations Medications like antihistamines, corticosteroids, and immunosuppressants can provide temporary relief but may not address the underlying issue. Recurring symptoms after stopping medication suggest that the treatment is only managing the symptoms, not the root cause. Permanent Solution: A Multi-Faceted Approach 1. Immunotherapy Allergy shots or sublingual immunotherapy can help desensitize your immune system to specific allergens, reducing IgE levels and symptoms. 2. Dietary Changes Avoid common allergenic foods like dairy, gluten, soy, and nuts for 2-3 weeks to see if symptoms improve. Incorporate anti-inflammatory foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, and fiber.
