I have been getting small red bumps on my skin during the daytime, accompanied by a burning sensation. This has been ongoing for 1.5 months, and I have already taken some medication. Which allergy tests should I get done to identify the cause?

My serum IgE level is 4653 IU/mL. I have a history of allergies, asthma, and psoriasis since childhood, and I also get frequent fungal infections. What tests can be done, or how can we diagnose whether I have Autosomal Recessive Hyper IgE Syndrome (AR HIES)?

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?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I am suffering from chest pain, shortness of breath, coughing and headache for the last few months. I have PFT and IgE test reports. I want to know if these reports are normal or show any abnormality. Please check my reports and also share the prescription.
