Have you had it all your life?
If not, when did it first start and did you "just know"?
Have u ever gotten a test to find out what your allergic to, what do they do and how does it feel?

I think im getting allergies. Im not sure. I get like oblong shaped weird bumps on my face that get red and itchy. Like on my forehead, on my eye bag and side of my face. But then slowly dissapate after awhile. But get red again like later the day. Or pop up in a different place. But i dont know if its allergies or my face is just acting weird.

at first i thought i have no allergies at all.. but when i came to the US and experienced winter.. it started.. everytime winter came.. my legs would start to get itchy and my mom said i couldn't scratch it.. so i would just put lots of lotions on it..

i think your legs are dry. In winter my skin gets really dry, itchy and crackly. So i just moisturize really well.

im allergic to cat and dog hair..

my parents were gonna get a puppy n brought me to the store and i jus kept sneezing. my face turned red, my skin got really itchyy.. lik i couldnt breathe or something, yea it wasnt a good experience.

i think u should see a doctor about ur allergies.. do u have any idea wat ur allergic to? or do u think its the spring whether?

[ehytee7]

yea. my mom and friends told me the same thing.. but even though i moisturize my legs everyday..i still get itchy all over my legs.. good thing it stopped probably bec it's spring..and it's not too cold anymore..

i'm allergic to animal hair. i get teary & sneeze when i'm around them, & if i touch them i get red & itchy.
i didn't think i was born with the allergy because i remember having many pets when i was younger,
but my mom just told me i had it all my life. i just chose to ignore my allergies & have pets anyway. -__-x

[Batgirl]

I have no idea what im allergic to. I've had a cat for 13 years now. =/ I thought maybe he got fleas and he slept on my bed so they were bug bites, but since the bumps are occuring oddly im starting to think its not bites but allergies.
But im not going allergy crazy, my nose gets a little runny and i sneeze now and then but these bumps have been coming up.

Im just wondering what the allergy test is like

I'm allergic to mangos. I think I've had it all my life. I know because when I was little, I tried eating them, and I'll just get really itch and gross. Then my mom said there's some kinda of chemical (or something) in the mango that isn't good for my body. So I just stopped, I don't remember how they taste like, and my friends all say I'm missing out.

i started to get allergies when i was in 9-10th grade....i would sneeze consecutively every night and then slowly it started in the day. i kinda knew.
i went to the doctor for a check up to double check and he said it was allergies...but the thing was he didn't say what i was allergic too!

my mom has allergies and it was so bad that she finally went to one of those allergy doctors that was covered by her company's insurance...
umm....if i can remember correctly....after filling out papers, the doctor came in asking questions like what kind of symptoms and when the allergies would occur, any pets, etc. then he did a manual check up like looking up the nostrils, mouth and ask if this or that hurt when he placed his finger here (around the eyes). after that he asked one of the nurses to give my mom a breathing test where she had to blow through this tube thingy (i guess to test her breathing or something, idk). that was the first visit. in the one after that, they had the nurse inject several small drops of diff. insulin in her back (prolly around 20-30) and when the doc came in to view my mom's back to see how her body reacted to each insulin....depending on the redness and size of the bumps that appear to figure what she was allergic to. etc etc. hope that helps answer your question.

I've had allergies ever since I could remember o.o;; Seasonal allergies... I think every season but winter. In winter I get that dry skin thing too, so it still sucks XD;; And then I'm allergic to peanuts, grass, pollen, ragweed, and all that other fun stuff. :D

i just became allergic to nuts last year.

i remember i ate half a snickers bar 1st period and then throughout the day i became really itchy, especially on my stomach and back. i didnt think it was anything related to allergies because i had eaten snickers before and nothing had ever happened. but around 6th period, i was SO itchy i couldn't concentrate so i went to the bathroom and saw that i had red bumps all over my stomach and back. i thought it was just a rash and if i didnt itch it anymore, it would go away.

when i got home, my mom told me that if i dont itch, it will probably go away so i went upstairs to read my book for school and all of a sudden i felt something weird on my face and when i looked in the mirror i saw that i had the same kind of rash on my face. i realized that the rash was actually hives. on the way to the hospital with my mom, the hives got worse and my throat started to close, making my voice raspy. when i got to the ER, they injected Benedryl into my left arm and put an IV tube in my right arm to give me more medication. they did this because they said my allergic reaction had gotten so bad that they couldn't give me the medication orally.

so yeah thats basically how i knew i became allergic.. haha. i wasnt positive that it was nuts that caused the reaction, but when i went to my friend's bday party she had pecan ice cream cake. i ate everything except the pecans, but i still felt like i was going to get hives. so i figured that even though i didnt eat the pecans, i was allergic to them because i ate the stuff that was around/touching the pecans. since then, there's been some other instances where im pretty positive that im allergic to nuts. also, my brother has been allergic to nuts all his life so that may be related to my allergy.

i still havent gotten an offical allergy test yet. i think i am going to get one this summer before i go to college so i can be sure of what i am allergic too.

also.. ever since i became allergic to nuts, i've also started to have seasonal allergies. they're getting really bad right now so i have to take a Claritin every morning.

they had the nurse inject several small drops of diff. insulin in her back (prolly around 20-30)

aaaaaand thats what i was afraid to hear.
I was considering going to the doctor to find out for sure what things im allergic to but now this is holding me back -__-. For now im keeping the cat out of my room.

[popolala]

Im allergic to something but i dont know wot it is! .. I twice had a rash all over! .. no point asking docter, they cant find out.. they just ask u questions like wot did u eat..

[Heroine]

I'm 14, I just found out I was allergic to watermelons last month.

Then it finally clicked that I was allergic to watermelons cause whenever i eat them i end up with a swollen lip

i had allergies since i was little, eyes are itchy, nose runny and i would get red blothces and irritates . if you get those red blochy thing you shoudl go ask your doctor because i started gettign it recently and it was because this season in NYC the pollen and molds and stuff outside is increasingly high so my allergies act ups =( my doctor gave me allergy medicine and cream for the blotchyness. they would only give you a needle if you are extremely allergic to outside that once yous tep out you get alergies immediately

[MOOVERDOSE]

When I was younger, it was really bad. Practially anything scented that were to go on my skin set me off.

But now I'm fine. It's really odd. I used to be allergic to fresh Mangoes as well. But apparently, that's not the case anymore.

[chula]

i developed allergies here in the US.

i'd get headaches, watery eyes and feel congested.

i'll always remember my allergy test: i had to lie on my stomach so the nurse can prick/cut different sections of my back and she'd drop liquids from different allergens and watch for my skin to react

i'm allergic to certain pollens / trees (like melaleucas) and molds.

I'm 14 (15 in a week), and I found out I had allergies like about 3 years ago.

Like, I would go outside in the spring time, and my nose would start running, and I would sneeze and stuff.
And that's when I realized I was allergic to like pollen or something.

But it didn't happen before that, so I don't know why I started developing an allergy.

[qt-princess]

I Never had allergies until like 2 years ago. It started out with just really itchy eyes and sneezing...but now..my eyes itch, runny nose, itchy nose, sneezing, and itchy throat and ears....It really sucks~!!!!

[cindydanda]

I think i have the most horrible allergy ever.

I AM ALLERGIC TO CHICKEN/SEAFOODS/EGGS.

when i was young i know im allergic to these things
but it ddnt bother me at all
because my allergic reactions were really mild
like ill get rashes on my arm/leg/back, etc
but not alot tho
and when i drink benadryl they easily go away.

until last sunday..

it was boyfriend's birthday so we ate out with his family
i ordered bbq chicken.
after that my legs went really itchy
so i had benedryl ryt away
it was supposed to go away ryt?
WRONG.
the freakin rashes (red spots) spread throughout my body
and i was scratching my skin like heck
it was all over my back, arms, legs.
i was really UBER SUPER itchy it made me cry
i thought i had some kind of cancer or whatever
and im not even exaggerating.

THANK GOD ITS GONE NOW.

i consumed 36 tablets of benadryl tho
in three days.
