I have occasional flair ups of hives (usually on my elbows, but when very bad I get them all over) and as yet, haven't been able to pin-point what causes them. I think it's stress related, but who really knows. <br />You're already tracking everything, but it's worth noting for other people with allergies that even a product you've used before might be causing it. My dad has sensitive skin and had a flair up recently, and we eventually worked out the ingredients in his regular washing powder been tweaked slightly, and that was enough.

I stopped using all my skincare items except micellar water and a overnight serum and that seemed to help but now it's bad again.

In the past I put them on everything and I mean everything and in an abundance too. I may try a limited quantity and not as often rather than cutting out something I love. Thank you so much! Oddly my skin tolerates silicone really well - generally speaking clay seems to be the biggest hit or miss.

I have found for myself that over the years I have become more sensitive to certain foods. For me, the quantity I consume or the number of days in a row that I eat something will influence my skin reaction. For example, mango/pineapple within 12-24 hrs. Strawberries - if I eat several days in a row. I still eat foods I'm intolerant to because I love them, but just eat smaller quantities or have 3-4 days inbetween.<br /><br />I also find the location of my spots often different if it is a food or if it is a product intolerance - weird I know. Anything silicone heavy will give me a white head within hrs.<br /><br />Good luck with your detective work!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06118832875330108827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7957742153028790995.post-45172035503502154752014-08-11T16:01:30.447+01:002014-08-11T16:01:30.447+01:00Thank you :) it really is but I'm hoping to fi...Thank you :) it really is but I'm hoping to find out to some extent what is the main cause.

Yes everything is washed thoroughly and to avoid pesticides I do buy organic where possible. At the moment I can't go meat free as my iron levels are so low. That is certain the goal to see patterns and have the proof wrote down - even if it is just for my sanity.

It is extremely detailed and a lot to make note of- especially over the time scale. I look forward to hearing how you get on.

They don't need to be the ingredient with the highest concentration in a specific product either, or be the 'active' ingredient' in anything. So tough! I see people talking about them only using 'natural' or 'organic' products, as if they don't cause allergies, when anything - no matter how expensive, cheap or good for you - can contribute to an allergy. Our immune system and allergic reactions are sometimes utterly unpredictable. <br /><br />Glad to see you've taken your doctor's advice and are writing everything down. Something to think about as well, whilst you're doing this - do you wash all of your fruit and vegetables before eating or cooking them? Do you see differences in your allergic reactions when you have dairy products, what happens when you have meat-free days? There are so many contributory factors, you may never get a specific answer, but you may start to see patterns emerging - 6 months is pretty much the minimum to start seeing this coming out. Good luck with this!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
