As suggested previously, it is generally agreed that one of the most common causes of eczema is an allergic reaction or the fact that a particular person is especially susceptible to particular allergens such as tree pollen, pet hair etc.

Furthermore, we established in the previous chapter that many eczema sufferers are prone to allergic reactions to certain foodstuffs which can prompt a flare-up of the condition at any time.

I have mentioned that one way of discovering what particular foodstuffs or beverages cause you eczema problems is to keep a journal of your elimination diet.

Doing things this way has the advantage that you can do everything in the comfort of your own home and there is no need to spend money for anything other than the diary that you use.

There is another way of establishing exactly what it is that causes you to break out in eczema, which is to take an allergy test under medical supervision. This test should show you exactly what it is that you are allergic to, although it might take some time to see positive results, because the allergist with whom you are working might have identified many different allergens which you could be reacting to, meaning that their testing might be a slow process.

On the other hand, taking an allergy test is not only effective for highlighting those foodstuffs or chemicals in food that you react against. It will also highlight any non-dietary factors that might be causing your eczema, such as an allergy to dust mites, tobacco smoke or even to the chemicals in strong soap and detergents.

In short, allergy testing is a far more comprehensive way of isolating exactly what is causing your eczema problem, because in addition to establishing allergies, an allergy test will also establish an individual’s personal reactions to various allergens such as tree pollen, molds or medications.

On the other hand, because allergy testing only establishes that the tested individual has a specific allergic antibody to the particular substance being tested, it does not necessarily mean that an allergic reaction is the inevitable result of the presence of these antibodies.
