A doctor who practices environmental medicine might help. Also a visit to the vet to see if there is a way to reduce your dog’s dander, can’t be too nice for the dog. If you live in a dry environment, a humidifier might help the dog and reduce dander.

He has very dry skin and his dander is all over the house. When I get near him or if I’m just in the same room with him I start itching all over, especially on my face. I’ve done all the basic tests. Skin prick, blood test, and skin patch. All the results were negative. Since my tests came back negative the Doctors I’ve seen will only prescribe nose sprays and recommend over the counter antihistamines such as Benadryl. This has been going on for a couple of years now, and is affecting my quality of life. I can’t keep taking over the counter medication because at some point I will start getting deminishing returns. Which is already starting to happen to some degree. Is there a specialist that can help people with challenging cases such as mine?

Allergy tests can be a useful guide, especially in uncovering foods that you may not have thought were a problem (try cutting them out and see if there is an improvement). However, these tests aren’t bullet-proof by any means. If your son reacts to peanuts then you don’t need a test to tell you this. You should try taking him off any of the other foods he reacted too and see if there is a difference, then reintroduce them after some time and see if there is a problem. That approach, if done properly, is the most accurate. See Self-Testing for Food Allergies

I took him to the allergist and they tested him for walnuts and almonds, milk eggs and wheat because those were other common problems in people. two of the five rows swelled with redness. some less than others and even the saline turned red but did not swell. the guy swore to me that he has Dermatographic urticarial but I saw a difference in the bumps on his back and I have seen it in person. The man actually said go feed him a peanut butter sandwich and see what happens!!!have you ever heard of a diagnosis. He doesn’t get rashes or hives except when he is around or has eat certain things. its not like he bumps into a table and breaks out in hives. I think he is way off.

I get anaphylaxis 8 hours after I consume what I am allergic to. Your best bet is maybe a blood test to check what you react to, that’s how I began my quest for my allergy.

One.warning do not eat foods that are known to cause anaphalaxis doing so may be fatal and can occure within three to ten minutes after ingestion and or exposure.

It could be.
What is more important in my opinion is that allergy tests are not that accurate. The best way to discover your allergies is through process of elimination, at least for food.

I have allergy symptoms as do my mom and my son. All of us got negative skin test results. Is it possible that, for genetic reasons, we could all have allergic reactions due to the same minor allergins not tested for?

Does anyone know of someone else with a similar problem? I live in Missouri and even get it in fresh moving streams like rivers. I have had this problem on the rivers in Arkansas, Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri, the rivers in Missouri and in Kansas. Its miserable and wish I could enjoy the water. (Sudafed and such medicine won’t even work; nor will the afrin or other sprays doctors have suggested to open the nasal passages)

Any help or thoughts appreciated!
