Please help me read these lab results for my daughter -i am not looking for medical advice

I am not asking for medical advice. I have copy and pasted the lab results since pictures are not allowed on the sub, for context my now 10 month old daughter was getting hives. Every time she came in contact with eggs, she has not even ingested them yet so I took her to an hour and these are the test results that came back.

moxe of the egg allergen component IgE antibodies are present.

Gal a 1 (ovomucoid) is associated with allergic reactions to raw or

egg, even in baked goods. Gal d 2 (ovalbumin) is associated with risk of allergic reactions to raw and soft-boiled egg, but less likely to cooked or baked egg.

Although an increased quantitative result is

reflective of increased concentrations of allergen-specific IgE, these concentrations may not correlate with the degree of clinical response.

microneedling question

question for you all! my traditional microneedling client left today looking more splotchy red instead of an even toned red. this has never happened to me before. she had delayed erythema ( i could tell bc the side i started with first was more red than the side that i ended off with) but it was splotchy and uneven nonetheless. did i apply maybe too much pressure? what could i have done better ?

I’m looking for success stories, I got diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency, and I have an appointment scheduled to get rid of the big diseased veins, wondering if it’ll make these surface level veins disappear as well
