Very High IgE and Constant Itchy, Dry, Scaly Skin w/ pins and needles throughout body
Post Body

Male, 23, 6'0", 180lbs. I had Severe Infantile Eczema and a History of Family Psoriasis

For the past two years, I've been constantly itchy and recently has gotten worse. My skin is severely dry and it also feels very leathery at times. These itchy red bumps only started on my stomach but slowly spread to my thighs, back, shoulders, and is now starting to affect my lower legs. These red bumps when I scratch them become very flaky and raised. I've started to experience pins and needles and tingly feeling throughout my body. My joints which include elbows, knees, and shoulders have started to become very achy and super annoying in the past month. I've also had severe sharpness in my stomach whenever I drink beer (only beer and no other alcholic beverages) and eat large portions of dairy. Whenever I have these types of food, I get diarrhea the next morning. It's gotten to a point where it affects my daily routine and I'm very fatigued throughout the day.

Another thing that I experience which is very annoying is severely itching when sweating during exercise. This severe itching is mostly on my back and legs. I also at times get these cold pins and needles throughout my body when taking a walk or running.

I just took a Ige blood test on 1/4/2023 and my count was extremely high. There's a lot of different outcomes as to why but I know for a fact that something is wrong with my body and skin.

When I went in two years ago, my PCP told me that it was a form of dermatitis herpetiformis but I recently took a celiac panel and all my tests came back okay.

I recently just took both a CBC and Metabolic Panel and everything seems to be doing okay.
