How Can Allergic Skin Reaction To Fiber Glass Dust Be Diagnosed?

A Pine tree fell on my car s windshield while i was driving; the glass splattered all over my body, the windshield was made of glass coated with a plastic making it hit me as slithers and dust. It has continued to surface over 1 1/2 years, but dermatologists claim that they cannot detect the fiber wrapped in my blood and tissue and X-Rays will not show it. It continues to itch like crazy and is painful and as I scale it off with a makeup eyebrow razor, it s blood seems sticky and it has left dark spots all over. What can I do to get it out? How can I test it to determine if it has caused an allergic reaction in each wound?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Sorry about your health condition how do you know that your having itching due to the fiber? Also check your Itching is coincidence with your accident. It may be due to other allergens. It may be due to allergy to pollen or fire tree or clothes or recently changed soaps and shampoos. You may use moisturex cream locally, tablet Atarax twice a day for five days. If symptoms not improved please attend allergy clinic/pulmonologist they will check for all allergen causing this problem then treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
