How Can I Get Rid Of Skin Allergies?
i have an allergy on top of my left foot. It's been there since college or 14 years now. i applied something before and it became white. now it continues to be itchy especially when I take chicken etc. It's a sad fact that I cant enjoy showing my feet wearing sandals. I have to hide it. Because everytime I feel the itch, especially at night, I always can't control myself to scratch it. i also have allergic rhinitis. is there any available remedy for my skin allergies? thank you and God bless

Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
As you are having some allergic reactions to some food stuff it should be confirmed whether it is a allergic reaction or any gut infection. I would suggest you to undergo absolute eosinophil count (AEC) which will be raised in the allergic condition and CBC and rouine investigations.
If your symptoms are due to the allergy you can take Tab Montek LC which helps to control the symptoms, but it is temporary. You need to avoid the food stuff to which you are allergic to protect yourself from getting these allergy symptoms.
If you are not able to avoid the food stuff to which you are allergic you can prefer immunotherapy either with subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT) or sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT).
Thank you.
