Eczema Care - Allergies and Allergy Testing

Eczema sufferers tend to be allergic to a wide range of substances in every day life that the non-eczema sufferer is not. For example, food, house dust mites, pollen, animals, moulds, drugs (eg antibiotics), lanolin, metals, solvents, household chemicals to name but a few.

Allergy testing can be done both privately and through the NHS, and home testing kits are now more widely available too.

talkeczema will be publishing more information about allergy testing in the near future - so watch this space!
