Suggest Tests To Diagnose Allergies Due To Mold Exposure
I have recently learned that my house has serious molds, including black mold . Simultaneously I ve experienced all the common symptoms of mold allergy, especially a very itchy dermatitis which is worst at night. My house has undergone remediation. My question is what test is there to determine mold allergy and what kind of doctor do I need to see.? My dermatologist was consulted several times before the mold was discovered and was entirely clueless. Thank you for any response.
Your symptoms seem to be related to mold allergy. I suggest you to do the allergy test to confirm the allergic reaction. I recommend using antihistamines daily such as Levocetirizine. If the symptoms continue you should see your doctor for prescription steroid shots.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi,
General & Family Physician
