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.
Dr. Vasanthasree Suggests...
Take a IgE Test Test or Take a TSH Test (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) Test

View allHello Doctor, I have been suffering from food allergies for the last 2 to 3 years. According to my blood report, I am allergic to foods like lemon, orange, lady finger, eggs, clove, yeast, and paper dust. Because of these allergies, I experience skin itching on different parts of my body at any time. I have consulted many doctors, but the itching returns once the medication is finished. Please guide me on the treatment, diet, or medicines I should take and which specialist I should consult. Thank you. I am eagerly waiting for your valuable advice.

Dear doctor, attached is my diagnosis report and my latest blood report. Medicines taken are Vitrace cv, Imofetil 500, Anliv 500, Divaine 50 and Effipan. I am a plumbing worker, and I was diagnosed with this disease. The above medicines were taken in different dosages, and during the medication period, I was fine. Due to the recent pandemic, my medicines were completed, and I was not able to visit the doctor. Again, I got itching skin and blisters started on my body, which took me back to my initial condition. Doctor, I do not know why I have not recovered. I have spent a lot of money and consumed many medicines, but still there is no improvement. Please advise. Thanks and regards, Ramesh.
