Allergy - Comprehensive Eczema Panel

This test assesses antibodies in your blood against a range of allergens like wheat, eggs, milk, and more. Detecting these antibodies helps pinpoint triggers that can exacerbate eczema symptoms, aiding in the management of this skin condition.

This test is done to:

• Identify specific allergens triggering eczema
• Personalize treatment plans to avoid allergens
• Manage and alleviate eczema symptoms effectively

This test is recommended in cases of:

• Persistent eczema symptoms
• Suspected allergic triggers affecting eczema
• Difficulty managing eczema with standard treatments

• Abnormal results could indicate the presence of high levels of antibodies, which could lead to heightened allergic response and a need for allergen avoidance.
• Consult your doctor for result interpretation and further guidance.

During the test, you can expect:

• Serum sample collection
• Shipping samples at required temperatures
• Utilization of ImmunoCAP method for testing accuracy

Prepare by:

• Following any dietary restrictions advised by your doctor

Consult your healthcare provider for specific requirements.

Tests often recommended alongside include:

• Allergy Skin Testing: Identifies specific allergens triggering skin reactions
• RAST Test: Measures specific IgE antibodies and allergic responses
• Patch Testing: Detects delayed allergic reactions to substances applied on the skin
