View allI'm really concerned about having an IGE level that's over 3000, and it's causing me to itch all over. I've been on some medications prescribed by my doctor for the past two months, but they don't seem to be helping. Plus, I've noticed I've been gaining a lot of weight since starting them. Could this high IGE level be dangerous, or is there something else I can try to help with the itching?
In such cases, it is important to discuss alternative treatment options with your doctor. To help reduce itching and lower your IGE levels, you can consider taking antihistamines such as Cetirizine 10mg once daily. Additionally, your doctor may also prescribe corticosteroids like Prednisone in a low dose to help control the itching. It is important to follow your doctor's advice and regularly monitor your IGE levels to assess the effectiveness of the treatment. Severe IGE levels can pose a risk as it indicates an overactive immune response, which can lead to various allergic reactions. It is important to address the underlying cause of the elevated IGE levels and work with your doctor to manage your symptoms effectively.

I've been dealing with this rash near my belly button for the past two months. I saw a dermatologist and got an ointment that helped for a bit, but as soon as it runs out, the rash comes back. What could be causing this? Should I be worried about it, and is there a long-term solution? I'm concerned about why it just won't go away.
It sounds like you may be dealing with a recurring rash near your belly button. Since the ointment prescribed by your dermatologist provided temporary relief but the rash keeps coming back, I recommend trying an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole (Canesten) twice a day for 2-4 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and avoid tight clothing that may irritate the rash further. If the rash persists, follow up with your dermatologist for further evaluation.
