A member asked:

Is there way to test whether allergy shot is working or not? my atopic dermatitis is getting worse, i don't know what to do . stop it or keep getting

Allergy shot: It all depends what allergy shot you are speaking about. A steroid shot or a combination of pollens/allergens you are reactive to? The latter in some cases may cause an initial worsening in symptoms before it takes effect and start reducing your symptoms. Several studies have shown they work on the long run to control eczema. Discuss the issue with your allergist. I do not recommend steroid shots.
