An allergy skin test is used by doctors to determine whether patients have allergies and if so, which substances they are allergic to. The allergies most commonly tested for are hay fever, asthma, dermatitis, food allergy, penicillin allergy, and bee sting allergy. The patient is exposed to a small dose of different allergens to determine whether they have any reaction to them and if the patient begins to exhibit negative symptoms after the allergen has been placed on their skin, it’s a good indicator that the patient might be allergic to that specific substance. Negative symptoms might include rash, sneezing, and coughing.. Read more in the below link..it may help you!!!

You maybe allergic to a food of some kind or a laundry detergent you use on your clothes. Take a antihistamine and if it is really severe you may have to see your doctor and he can give you some predisone along with a script for a stronger antihistamine. When I broke out in hives one time the doc gave me predisone and told me to take Benedryl, like 3 of them at a time twice a day. But if you have to work that would not be a good choice as it makes you sleepy.I would get a non drowsy antihistamine over the counter.
