Having reocurring allergy patch at bottom of back. Cure?
Patient: Hi, I have a reocurring allergy patch that comes up on the bottom of my back every now and then. It 1st came up about a year ago and has come up about 4 times since. It is extremely itchy and lumpy. It seems to weep slightly as it develops tiny scabs but I m not sure if this is due to the scratching . It always comes back in the same place and probably lasts about 2 to 4 weeks. It is around the same size as 2, 2penny coins (uk). Doctor: Hello,Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.You have mentioned only allergy patch from one year and 4 times in a year. This is not a complete history.Please mention,  Age,Sex,Previous history of allergy ( as bronchial asthma)Family history,Diabetes, fever,any other  member of family infected or  not. Report of blood tests as about eiosinophilia or not. So please mention about  above things.Good luck. Dr, HET
