Answers:    your diagnosis is unclear, you can have an outbreak of hives just once in your go, you may not have hives you may be reacting to washing powder, polyester, I would redeploy the washing powder, wear only 100% cotton shirts, and try to notice any response to what you are eating also apply aqueous cream after bathing, it could be eczema even
Question 1. Allergies develop from repeated exposure. So it is perfectly normal to hold eaten foods all your life and next develop an allergy.
tion 2. If eggs cause you hives it is best to avoid them. Yes it means you cannot eat them if you are strongly allergic to them. You can see your doctor and see if you are a suitable competitor for desensitization.

Question 3. No one can predict how long a severe outbreak will last. We do not know how allergic you are to the things you have stated. For detailed information you must see your doctor. It will in adjectives probability last all your life unless you choose to put up with a desensitization program. You and your doctor have to evaluate the costs/risks and benefits of this program.

In my judgment you NEED medical intervention. Please see a doctor as soon as possible. I am a Registered Nurse and I have looked after patients described in answer to question 4. Source(s): RN
