Hi, I had my delivery 2 months ago. I get itching after taking my bath daily. How can I recover from this? What is the treatment? I do not have thyroid. I am breastfeeding. Kindly suggest. Thank you.

Postpartum itching after bath may be due to dry skin, hormonal changes, or soap sensitivity. Use hypoallergenic soap and moisturize immediately after bath. Avoid hot water. Since thyroid is ruled out, other allergies should be considered. If itching persists, you should take an IgE allergy panel test to check for underlying allergens.

I am the mother of a 10 year old girl. She has developed red patches on her skin all over the body for the last 4 days. The doctor has advised a patch skin test. Could you please explain what this test is, what it indicates, and how long it usually takes?

Is my report normal or should I take medicine? I do not know whether I have asthma or not but my IgE value is very high at 1900.

I consulted a doctor at KIMS, and they said I have an allergy, so I have been taking allergy medicine. However, I am experiencing chest mucus and frequently vomiting mucus after eating. My test report shows immunoglobulin E over 1000. Could this be the reason for my phlegm problem?
