Are Itchy Hands, Red Blotchy With White Spots Due To The Allergy Of Potatoes?

My wife whose 44 has had recent problems when peeling potatoes, she gets itchy hands and they get red and blotchy, sometimes white spots. She also gets the same problem with latex, and also touching conifer trees! This evening she peeled the potatoes and inadvertently touched her eye, this has now really swollen on the upper eyelid and below the eye, giving her the appearance of a drooping eye and eye bag! Please advise Thank you Gary mcburnie

Hi,

Thanks for consulting HealthcareMagic!

I am sorry about her condition. It is confirmed that she
is allergic to all the things you mentioned above. The first line
treatment of this kind of allergy is to avoid exposed to all the
suspected allergens. The other treatment would be only for s
ymptomatic relief based on presenting symptoms. These symptoms if presented in more severe form, if exposed to big amount of allergens can even
be life threateningand so please be careful to avoid exposure in any means.


Hope I have answered your query.
