I'm experiencing skin itching all over my body whenever I eat meat, fish, or eggs. There aren't any rashes, but it seems to happen in different areas like my leg, chin, and hands at different times. Could this be an allergy or something else I should be worried about?

It sounds like you may be experiencing food allergies that are manifesting as skin itching. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can try taking an antihistamine such as Cetirizine 10mg once daily. Additionally, you can apply a soothing lotion like Calamine lotion on the affected areas to help with the itching. Make sure to avoid consuming meat, fish, and eggs to prevent further allergic reactions.

I'm really concerned about this sneezing issue I've been dealing with for the last 34 months. It's not an everyday thing, but when it hits, I can sneeze anywhere between 50 to 70 times in a day. It also causes a runny nose, and my eyes get affected as well. Could you offer some guidance on what might be causing this and what I can do about it?
