extreme allergic reactions

Recently when I went back to Ipoh, went to consult another skin specialist ==> Dr Henry Foong in Fairpark. My skin problems had gotten worse again coz I've eaten groundnuts without myself realising...ish! Anyway...I went home with two puffy, swollen eyes....and after the swelling has gone down it results into the skin around the eyes "coming out"...and its really a terrible sight~~ The doctor gave me some medicine with ointments and cleanser with moisturiser for bathing and applying. He also suggested that I get a IgE test. Dad got my blood sample and also urine sample to check for the IgE level and also whether there's presence of Helicobacter Pylori coz I had problems with my stomach recently too. My blood test results came out few days after...and seems that my IgE level is 1500IU/dL while the normal level is normally lower than 100IU/dL...that is just soooooo terrifying....and I can't do anything about it except to avoid the foods that lead to allergic reactions...haih~~
