Can they outgrow their allergies

[jessie5n8]

My daughter is now 3 years old and by this time every year until this one, she would break out into a serious rash. Last year it was so bad that someone called DFS on us for it. She is allergic to almost everything, but we noticed that if she is bit by a mosquito, flea, or anything like that, one bite turns into 15 soars. This year though she hasn't started breaking out yet, and I just wanted to know if they can outgrow this kind of allergy? Thanks for any answers!!

Hello,
It is good that your daughter has not broken out into sores but the skin symptoms that she was having were due to hives and you should keep a check on her allergies. Sometimes a person may outgrow allergies, but mostly a person may show sudden sensitiveness to the allergens again. Diagnosis of skin allergies includes Skin ***** tests (pricking the skin with a needle or pin containing a small amount of the allergen ('***** Testing' or 'Scratch Testing'), Patch tests (by applying a patch to the skin, where the patch contains the allergen.)And RAST.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
