Hi
having now twice this year come up with hideous burn type symptoms mainly on the back of my hands (small puss filled blisters) - ie skin goes red, then red with blisters (initially about 1/2mm across then they seem to meld into large say 1cm across ones), oozing clear and yellowish fluid that sometimes crystallize, eventually dries out and back to ok taking about 6-10 days.
First diagnosis was sun (I'm a true Celt) and I had been on a sailing weekend, however second occurrence was after mountain biking (wearing full finger gloves) the second doctor visit has suggested an allergy, possibly rubber (*and I did change a tube and two tyres - but to be fair I've doing doing that for years before). He then incensed me by suggesting I pay about £400 for a private test as the NHS one has a year long waiting list.
Anyway I've noticed there appear to be 'internet' available allergy tests and was hoping somebody might be able to recommend a cost effective private allergy testing facility or give any other (*appropriate please) suggestions.
Thanks
