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 been struggling with jock itch for a couple of years now, and it's been getting worse. The affected area keeps growing and now it's all over my butt. I've tried using antifungal soap and cream, but it never seems to go away for good. It just keeps coming back. What can I do to completely get rid of this? What's the best treatment to finally cure it?
Jock itch, also known as tinea cruris, is a fungal infection that affects the skin in the groin area. For persistent cases like yours, oral antifungal medications may be necessary for complete eradication. I recommend taking Fluconazole 150mg once a week for 4 weeks along with applying Clotrimazole cream twice daily to the affected areas. Additionally, keeping the affected area clean and dry, wearing loose-fitting clothing, and avoiding sharing personal items can help prevent recurrence.

I've got this lump on my butt cheek, maybe about an inch or so in diameter. Sometimes it swells up, I think because of the heat or something. It's really hard not to try to pop it a bit because it sort of tears when I sit, then it releases some pus and eventually calms down. My English isn't great, but I hope you get what I'm saying. Could you help me understand what's going on here?

I'm noticing these rashes popping up anywhere on my body, mainly in the morning and evening. Theyre itchy, red, and kind of rashy like pithi dafad, and they tend to disappear after a while. Should I be worried about this, or is it something common?
It seems like you are experiencing a skin condition called Urticaria, also known as Hives. This condition presents as raised, itchy rashes that come and go. To help relieve the itching and redness, you can take Cetirizine (brand name Zyrtec) 10mg once daily. Additionally, applying a soothing lotion like Calamine lotion on the affected areas can also provide relief. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.
