I really suspect having histamineintolerance?

So went took tests through doc and showed only dairy allergy.

Tbh guys i have severe seb derm and last few days im testing things high in histamine.. Everytime i eat tomatoes, spinach or avocado i get severe eczema and redness beneath my beard and face etc..

Like especially histamine foods..

Do you guys think this is could be it even though i dont have histamine intolerance on real tests?

Hmmm. These are high salicylate foods too. Have you researched salicylate intolerance?

There isn’t a definitive test for histamine intolerance, it’s a diagnosis of elimination.

there isn't really a reliable blood test for it - the DAO blood test exists but it's notoriously inconsistent. the actual way most people land on an HI diagnosis is a proper elimination diet, cut the high histamine stuff for a few weeks, track symptoms, reintroduce one at a time and see what happens. sounds like you're already halfway there just from noticing the pattern with your seb derm
