Absolutely getanallergy test! AskfortheCAP RAST sinceI thinktheprick/skin test onskin witheczema cangive falsepositives. Notallpeople witheczema havefood orenvironmental allergies,butthereareabouthalf thatdo! Ifthatcanbetheroot ofyourproblem,youwon’t beusing medicines/creams unneccessarily. Yes,youcanalsodevelop anallergy/eczema even though youmayhavenothada problem before.
Asforthebruise,areyoubrusing a lot andeasily? Thatcanbesomething completely unrelated. Didthebloodwork come back normal? Weretheplatelet levels fine. Ifso,thenitisprobably nothing,butI wouldhope yourdoctor wouldtalk toyouifanything onthebloodwork came back abnormal.
