Question

I'm dealing with really high Immunoglobulin IGE and I've been getting this annoying skin rash and itching. My skin doctor prescribed levocetirizine to calm the itching down, but after taking it for two months, nothing's changed. Do you think I'm seeing the right type of doctor for this, or should I check in with another specialist since it might be related to my blood?

It seems like the skin doctor's approach of prescribing levocetirizine to suppress the itching caused by high Immunoglobulin E levels has not been effective in your case. Since elevated IgE levels are related to the immune system and can contribute to skin issues like rash and itching, it might be beneficial to consult with an Allergist or Immunologist for further evaluation and management. They may recommend specific medications such as Montelukast along with antihistamines like Fexofenadine to address the underlying cause of the elevated IgE levels and provide relief from the symptoms.

I'm really worried about my husband's allergies, he's been dealing with them for the past four years.
