Skin Allergy Test - Symptoms and causes

Symptoms
– Atopic Dermatitis (Eczema)
Itchy, red or dry skin. It may “weep” or leak fluid that crusts over when scratched, which means that it is also infected.
In infants, eczema often appears on the face. Children are prone to have the rash at the bends of the elbow joint, wrists, behind the knees and behind the ears. Adolescents and young adults typically have the rash in the same locations as children, as well as on the hands and feet.
Patients with the faulty filaggrin gene often have hand eczema with excessive little lines on the skin of their palms.

– Urticaria (Hives) and Angioedema
Urticaria is itchy, red and white raised bumps or welts that range in size and can appear anywhere on the body. Angioedema often appears on the face around the eyes, cheeks or lips. This deeper layer of swelling can also occur on hands, feet, genitals, or inside the bowels or throat. In acute Urticaria, the welts disappear within minutes to a few weeks. Chronic hives last for months or even years.
