I'm dealing with these skin allergies that look a lot like mosquito bites all over my body. My blood test showed I have a high IgE count of 2000, and even though I've been on medication for over three months, the allergies keep coming back as soon as I stop the treatment. It feels like it's getting worse every day. Is there anything I can do for a more permanent solution?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
High IgE count (>2000) indicates an overactive immune response, leading to increased histamine release and allergic reactions.
Current Treatment Limitations
Medications like antihistamines, corticosteroids, and immunosuppressants can provide temporary relief but may not address the underlying issue. Recurring symptoms after stopping medication suggest that the treatment is only managing the symptoms, not the root cause.
Permanent Solution: A Multi-Faceted Approach
- Immunotherapy
Allergy shots or sublingual immunotherapy can help desensitize your immune system to specific allergens, reducing IgE levels and symptoms.
- Dietary Changes
Avoid common allergenic foods like dairy, gluten, soy, and nuts for 2-3 weeks to see if symptoms improve. Incorporate anti-inflammatory foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, and fiber.

View allI'm using Ilumax skin brightening cream by Ajanta to help with tanning and get a fairer skin tone. I'm curious, how long does it usually take to start seeing results with this cream? Also, how long should I continue using it to maintain the fairness? I'm a bit worried about what happens after I stop using the cream. Will my skin get darker again? Any advice would be really appreciated.
Candid cream for local application is advised, once a day,at bed time for 2 weeks is advised.

I'm looking for advice on the best minoxidil brand available in India. I've heard about brands like Regaine and Minoqilib. Are these any good, or do you suggest any other brands?
They are effective in promoting hair growth and treating hair loss. Another popular brand you can consider is Tugain. For best results, you can use Regaine 5% solution or Minoqilib 5% solution twice daily on the affected area of the scalp.
