Daily skin rashes and scalp allergy may be linked to dust, sweat, food, or fungal triggers. Oily/combination skin is prone to clogged pores and fungal sensitivity. Cetirizine helps symptoms but doesnt treat the root cause. A simple allergy profile and fungal screen can help identify triggers.

I am allergic to many things like dust and strong smell. What is the cough allergy test? Should I also get it done? I am 32 years old working as a HR in an MNC. Is it worth doing this allergy test? Can I get a permanent solution for this cough allergy?

Sir, I am suffering from redness and itching in the upper throat and possibly the upper food pipe for the last 6 months. I have taken many treatments but this problem is not cured. The STRAP TEST report as advised by the doctor found non pathogenic organisms grown on culture media and he said there is nothing abnormal, but this problem is recurring every 1 to 2 months. Please suggest what type of problem this is and which department I should consult. Is it Crohns disease?
