Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion you are having skin allergy moat probably.
Better to get done CBC ( Complete Blood Count ) and if eosinophil is raised than probably its allergy only.
Allergy is induced by any substance. It is patient specific.
The best treatment for allergy is identification of allergen and if possible complete avoidance of it.
Allergen can be
Dust, pollens, animal fur, clothes, chemical, bed sheets etc.
So try to identify it.
At present start antihistamine and anti allergic drugs with steroid cream for local application.
Consult dermatologist and discuss all these.
