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've had this dry whitish patch on the shaft of my penis for about six months now, and it's got me a bit worried. The skin on that patch is kinda wrinkly, and when I wet it with water or oil, it appears to go back to normal, but it still seems a bit lighter than the rest of the skin. Should I be concerned about this? What might be causing it, and is there anything I can do to treat or improve it?
The symptoms you described, including a dry, whitish patch with wrinkly skin on the penis shaft that normalizes with moisture, could be indicative of vitiligo, eczema, or lichen sclerosus; consult a dermatologist

I've got this lump on my pubic area that's really worrying me. It's painful, reddish, and there's pus and blood coming out. The top of the lump looks pretty red too. I'm not sure what it could be, and it's freaking me out a bit. Should I be concerned or see someone about it?
A painful, red, and swollen lump with pus and blood in the pubic area may indicate a sebaceous cyst, abscess, or infected ingrown hair; however, it's crucial to consult a doctor or dermatologist for a proper evaluation and diagnosis, as it could also be a sign of a more serious condition, such as a Bartholin's cyst or hidradenitis suppurativa, and may require treatment with antibiotics, drainage, or minor surgery.

I'm African American and I've noticed my skin used to be much lighter, but over the past six years, it's gotten so dark that I can barely see myself at night. I spend most of my time indoors and rarely go out. I've tried skin bleaching products before, and they worked, but once I stop using them, my skin becomes darker again. Do you have any suggestions for lotions or treatments I could try to help with this?
