Oh wow that title is fudged up. My question is if anyone has had a skin ***** allergy test?

Oh, it's because it identified pr1ick as a profanity!

Nope, no skin penis allergy test done here.

I had one in the early 80s arranged by my GP.
I ended up being allergic to house dust, dust mite & sheeps wool and was put on 2 years of injections.

So well worth doing! I'm willing to pay for mine, just looking for recommendations.

That sounds horrible?
Was it an issue that was affecting your skin massively?

I've been semi interested in it. But everything I read says they're basically useless. Which has put me off spending money on it.

Never get why people ask personal questions within medical related threads

Hmm everything I read says the opposite, everything is useless aside from skin-***** which is pretty reliable.

It was nothing to do with my skin, it was as though I'd got a constant cold all the time.

I do have a skin allergy called Dermagraphism that is caused by food but they can't find out which food causes it.

Have you asked your doctor to send you to hospital for one?
