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.

I have been getting small red bumps on my skin during the daytime, accompanied by a burning sensation. This has been ongoing for 1.5 months, and I have already taken some medication. Which allergy tests should I get done to identify the cause?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I want to know about my Allergy Screening Test by IMMUNO-EIA. The results are IgE 172 KU/L, Nimesulide 1.30 U/L, and Cephalosporin 1.20 U/L. What is the meaning of these values shown in my report? What should I do to treat it?
