I have a skin problem and dust allergy too..i got tested by a doctor...i was subjected to montoux test which produced +ve result on my hand what to do?

Unrelated: Unless you have eczema (atopic dermatitis), your mite allergy is more likely related to your respiratory system (nose, lungs) than your skin. Your positive montoux test means that you have been exposed to TB and you will need to work with your doctor on the follow-up especially if the test was negative in the past.
