Varies: Birth with eczema makes an allergist think allergies are present since it is the first sign, typically, for an allergic child. I tend not to perform skin testing before age of 4 since it tortures the child and it rarely changes my treatment plan. I am not going to start allergy shots on a small baby. Blood tests are highly suspect.
