I love seafoods but I get skin rashes when I eat even a little of these type of dishes. Any suggestions to deal with the problem?

Thankfully, I do not have any food allergies, so I do not have this to worry about. I can eat any seafood I want with no problems, and I usually tend to eat way too much seafood when I go out to a buffet LOL

I so envy you! It's just sad that there is so much production of seafood here in my place. Too bad, I can't indulge in them without getting a puffed face or itchy skin.

Allergies are somethin that with luck a doctor can help you get rid of. They are unnatural responses from our immune system and there´s nothing much we can do. some people are more prone to allergies than others and seafood contains somethingthat doesn´t go along with many people. Sorry. I love seafood and thankfully I have no problems with it.

Generally skin test and blood test is done to test the antibodies and response they have on the skin when it is exposed to the allergic substance. But, the best way to keep off allergies is to avoid the cause of it. No specific medicine has been produced for the remedy of allergies.

I think you are already aware that you are allergic to seafood. I was also allergic to seafood before but my allergies are not seen with red spots and itch, i have trouble breathing cause I was asthmatic and seafood is a number one no no. I dont know if you went to the doctor already but when I had those allergies before, I was prescribed anti-histamine.
