No specific test!: Family history of psoriasis and exzema important. Clinical look at lesion most telling. But your description is too vague! Need more info. Thanks. Best, TCNMD PS: Severe allergies can give you allergic shiners, which you might be describing. Associated with allergies through chronic sinusitis!
