Egg allergy
Hi Guys.
Eight weeks ago I was diagnosied with my vitamin b12 very low. For that I started taking vitamin b12 injection. In addition to that, I also started taking two boiled eggs per day for around six weeks. For the info, I am a strict vegetarian and I had never taken any eggs or egg related products since my Birth. But because of this medicla problem I started consumting eggs. After I started taking eggs, I noticed few rashes on my forehead. The rashes are small raised bumps and there was some itching. The said rashes increased in quantity and spread to other parts of my nameley chest, neck and back. I also had few raised swellings on my back. I went to the doctor and told me that this is an allergic reaction and precribed antihistamine and cortisteroids topical ointment. My question is: Does egg induced rash stay for around five to six weeks duration. I still have them. Please reply. I am a bit stressed up.

I dont know that they stay around that long. You may want to go back to the doctor and ask them to do a scraping and read it under the microscope to make sure that it is not a parasite or bacteria. Hope this helps.
