Hi, I had my delivery 2 months ago. I get itching after taking my bath daily. How can I recover from this? What is the treatment? I do not have thyroid. I am breastfeeding. Kindly suggest. Thank you.

Postpartum itching after bath may be due to dry skin, hormonal changes, or soap sensitivity. Use hypoallergenic soap and moisturize immediately after bath. Avoid hot water. Since thyroid is ruled out, other allergies should be considered. If itching persists, you should take an IgE allergy panel test to check for underlying allergens.

As per my recent blood report, my IgE (immunoglobulin E) level is significantly elevated at 1667. My local doctor has advised me to undergo a complete allergy test at a specialized hospital. Could you please advise on the next steps and what I should do?

Sir, I have an IgE serum level of 484 in my blood test report and have allergies in my body because of it. Can I take the COVID vaccine?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I consulted a doctor for skin and dust allergy. He advised an IgE serum test. The result shows IgE serum level greater than 3000. Is this very serious?
