All the symptoms but allergy blood test comes back... Negative?
Post Body

Hi everyone, first time poster here. I've had at I thought were seasonal allergies (cold like symptoms, sneezing, funny nose) on and off for the last five years. It's been getting progressively worse in the last two years.

Last year I did a skin prick test that was inconclusive.

This year, I started also getting an allergic reaction on my face - puffy eyes with redness and dryness on patches, also on my upper lip and forehead. The dermatologist took one look and said allergies. The steroid cream he prescribed worked like magic.

Then I went and got a blood test done at the ENT doctor. Had a call with him and he said I'm not allergic to anything. Honestly I expected him to say I'm allergic to multiple things, not nothing!

Any ideas about what this could be? Are there other ways to investigate what I could be allergic to?
