Eczema flare from allergy shots?
Hi everyone,
About 3 months ago I started receiving allergy shots. I was skin prick tested and my skin responded to pretty much all seasonal allergies. I was also tested for food allergies and same thing my skin responded to all of them. However, I am not allergic to any foods so the allergist said that I have very sensitive skin that just reacted to everything. Within the first month I started to get a really itchy scalp and it was very red and inflamed. My hair also started falling out more than usual. I let my allergist know and he told me that it is just a coincidence. I do have a patch of eczema under my left butt cheek. I don't believe my allergist, I think my scalp and face are reacting to the allergy shots. I have stopped them for 2 weeks now. To add on all of this I am now pregnant. I don't want to use anything that is harsh on my skin. I can't even be happy about my pregnancy because of my scalp and face. Has anyone had a similar experience? Will it subside?
