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.
