Hoping someone knowledgeable MNetters can provide some advice.

DS (5mo) has Ezcema which has been under really good control of late with emollient/ weekend steroid use. We were referred for allergy testing prior to weaning and results showed possible CMPA/ egg allergy but negative for all else. I was advised to start weaning and introduce peanuts asap. We did so with a small amount of peanut butter & water yesterday morning the day after the allergy test...yesterday afternoon he had a really bad flare up of his skin including some hives...clearly an allergic response.

My question - could this be a non IGE / delayed reaction to the skin prick test milk/egg? Anyone experienced a flare up after this test?
Or
Could it be a peanut allergy despite showing negative in the skin prick?

Thanks in advance
