I consulted a doctor for skin and dust allergy. He advised an IgE serum test. The result shows IgE serum level greater than 3000. Is this very serious?

A serum IgE greater than 3000 indicates high allergic sensitivity, not a dangerous disease. Its common in dust allergy, eczema, asthma, sinus issues, or skin rashes. It is not life threatening it shows how reactive your immune system is. You may benefit from allergy reducing medicine, nasal sprays, or skin treatment.

Take a IgE Test Test or Take a CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test

Hi, my nose is always blocked and I am having problems in breathing. I had my blood tested and found allergies. I have been taking anti allergic medicine named Telekast L for 2 months but it is not giving any relief. I have attached my report. Can you kindly give feedback? Thanks.

I have noticed dark, blackish pigmentation on my chest, arms, back, and lower portion of the neck, along with some itching. I have been receiving treatment at Batras Clinic for the past 15 months, but I am not seeing fast results. My recent blood report shows that IgE is around 516. Please suggest what I can do to effectively treat this skin problem.

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?
