What kind of doctor do i go to get tested for all types of allergies? I know i have some becaue in the mornings my nose wont stop running and my eyes are always watering. I also think i have some kind of skin allergy too. I was in my kick boxing class and we were working on grappling, and a few minutes after i grapple with one of my teammates, I developed really bad elevates rashes all over my mid section and legs. So where and what kind of test should i get??

go to an Allergist. Sounds like you may have latex allergies, as well as seasonal or chemical allergies. They can run an allergy panel to test you after you discuss what happens and when it happens...if you are getting hives - does benedryl help control them? It should... best of luck!

Definitely visit an Allergist... They'll test you for everything & see what you react to.

Since you're waking up in the morning with a runny nose - that sounds like it could be a dust mite allergy (due to your bedding)... easy to fix with covers...

I wouldn't recommend Benadryl personally because it makes me/others I know VERY drowsy... I find a 24 hour claritin or claritin-generic (CVS or WalMart brand) works wonders... Your allergist will point you in the right direction.

Good luck!
