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 allSir, 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?

I am a college student and commonly sneeze 3 to 4 times every morning. About 9 months ago, I developed a facial skin problem that became red, swollen, and sometimes oozed yellow fluid. A doctor diagnosed me with eczema and prescribed medicines, which initially helped. However, when the medicines were changed, the problem worsened and spread to other parts of my body. I could not use the medicines for long because they were steroids. This went on for about 7 months. Later, my doctor suggested comprehensive allergy testing and advised stopping all medicines. After stopping, the allergy gradually reduced. The allergy test indicated sensitivity to house dust and cotton dust. Currently, my facial eczema is under control, but my eyes have become red. A doctor suggested it might be conjunctivitis, but they are unsure if it is allergy related. I have had allergic problems since childhood, but they have worsened over the past 9 months. Could you please explain what might be happening and how I can manage these recurring allergies and eye symptoms?

My nephew has been developing sudden redness and water filled blisters on his legs and hands, which resolve on their own within a few days. His blood reports appear normal, and we have consulted multiple dermatologists, but none have been able to identify the root cause of these recurring blisters. I have attached images for reference. Could you please review them and share any insights or suggestions you may have? Thank you in advance.
