My nephew has skin allergies, and I have attached a test report from a year ago. Recently, he has been experiencing rapid weight gain, about 4 kg in the last 1.5 months. Could this be related to his allergies or something else?

Allergy requires updated IgE and thyroid check. Rapid weight gain suggests endocrine issues like hypothyroidism.

Take a IgE Test Test or Take a TSH Test (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) Test

I am having skin allergy only at night for the last one month and was asked to do a blood test. The result of my blood test for allergy shows IgE is 347. In the liver test my total protein is 8, albumin is 4.1, and globulin is 3.9. I want to know if my report is normal?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

As per my report, IgE antibody is high. This problem has been there for many years. I have itching in the body which stops after taking Cetirizine and some dark patches in the pelvic area. Please explain in detail?
