Allergy testing can be done as skin tests or as a blood test, they can check for allergens in your environment, foods, medications , chemicals.This would allow you to eliminate what it causing the allergic response.It is important to avoid mental stress, over tiredness , alcohol, tight clothing as all of these are thought to cause or worsen the rash.You may require long term treatment with a non drowsy anti histamine.I hope this helps
