Suggest Remedies For Skin Allergy Causing Bruising

Hi, I have an English Bulldog, have had him for about six months. I have skin allergies, but they seem to be getting worse not better. My dermatologist gave me a steroid shot that helped for a while, but then my skin started to bruise. Now my skin is breaking out worse than ever all over. It is extremely itch. I think it is like eczema, but have not had a definitive diagnosis. Is there anything I can do to help this problem. I do not want to rehome my dog.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

You may want to have allergy testing done, it may not be the dog dander that is causing the problem.

If there is another source then you may be able to reduce your exposure to it.

If it is related to the dog and removal is not an option then you would need to consisting use anti histamines and topical steroids to help with your skin reaction.
If severe then oral or injectable steroids can be used.

I hope this helps
