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?

Could be chronic urticaria/contact allergy. Triggered by sun/heat/foods. Continue antihistamines. Avoid triggers, wear loose cotton clothes. Get Skin Prick Allergy Test, Serum IgE.

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?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

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.
