What could i be Allergic to?
i don't know what i'm allergic to because i am having bad reactions such as redness, dryness, on facial areas and i just know for sure its allergies. so i'm going to get an allergy test. Though I'm getting a skin test? What does that mean? What will they do the Docs.? In the mornish-day it's the worst and I'm wondering if i have a severe case of dust mites? i know its not food, pets, chemicals? Any ideas of what it is? And don't forget to answer the questions above. Thank You.

Allergies can be strange and hard to diagnose at times. They also appear at different ages. Some allergies manifest themselves at or after puberty when the body starts secreting new hormones. The skin test is the very best first step. Hopefully you are seeing an allergist, and it sounds like you are.
The skin test is nothing to be concerned about. Usually the skin test is done on an arm, some times on a thigh. Then using an overlay they scratch the skin surface using a needle with the allergen on it. sometimes they inject something just under the skin. Then they wait, some times the reaction is almost immediate sometimes it takes a day or two. The reason for the overlay is so they can identify which site is reacting if there is a reaction.
As to what it may be; it could be almost anything. Have you started using a different type of make-up recently? Try using hypoallergenic make up and see if that helps.
