Accepted Answer

Based on your symptoms and high IgE levels, it seems like you may be experiencing an allergic reaction. I recommend you start taking Allegra (Fexofenadine) 180mg once daily to help with the itching.

Make sure to continue with your current medication and follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

The acne caused by the B12 injection should subside on its own within 2-3 months, and to manage it, maintain good skincare habits, use acne treatments, avoid picking or popping whiteheads, and consider consulting a dermatologist for personalized advice.
