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.

I have been experiencing urticaria for the past month. I got my blood and thyroid tests done, and the reports came back normal. One of the doctors suggested that I take HHFEXO 180, HHOMEGA, and M Solone 4 for one month. Will these medicines help me? What do these tablets actually do? I am a bit worried because, about 6 months ago, I took some other medicines for a different problem, and after some time, they caused a lot of issues in my body. Should I take these prescribed medicines or not?

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 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?
