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.

Elevated IgE suggests allergic skin condition like atopic dermatitis. Treatment includes antihistamines, moisturizers, steroid creams, and avoiding allergens. Long standing pigmentation may take time to fade. Consider a dermatologist if no response in 6 weeks.

View allGood morning Sir/Madam, My son is 3.4 years old. He started with a simple runny nose which later turned into a dry cough. It has been one month that he is on treatment. Initially, he took cold related medicines for almost two weeks, including Cetrizine, Phenylephrine, Dextromethorphan, and Chlorpheniramine, but had very little improvement. Later, he developed ear pain, so he was given Augmentin antibiotics. He improved for only two days and then again started having a severe dry cough. His vitamin D level was found to be 53, and he is taking weekly 60000 IU. The doctor told us it is bronchitis and prescribed Levolin and Budocort three times a day. Even after 20 days of using the pump, there was very little improvement. Now, he has been given Prednisone and Cefixime for five days, but he is still coughing continuously, today is the third day of this treatment, and there is very little improvement. He does not have a fever. Please suggest what I can do to help his improvement?

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?
