It sounds like there could be a couple of things going on with you just on the surface. There is always the outside chance of something else, but these two things are the most common. See what sounds right for you and move accordingly. It could be one or the other problem - or they both can occur simultaneously. You are right in wanting to get at the underlying causation and treat the root problem. Unfortunately, getting to ground zero is like pealing back the layers of illness and is not always practical when you are dealing with symptoms. Deal with the symptoms while at the same time trying to discover what may be at the bottom of that well.
If there is a chronic allergic type of reaction, then antihistamines and immune modulating supplements are the course of action to calm the response. Sometimes people can have allergic types of skins reactions that show up out of nowhere and can disappear just as mysteriously over time. It is a sign of a body in distress and out of balance.
The other problem could be toxicity trying to make its way out of the body. That could involve the skin as well as the lungs because both are detoxification pathways. If that is the case, then detox protocols are in order. The process can take time and must be done slowly and not be hindered. There is no quick fix here. If detoxification is done too fast without proper support, the toxicity cannot clear from the body and the toxins continue to circulate and will be redeposited in the tissues. In addition, along with detoxification, the immune system can be triggered and there can be allergy type responses to the toxins that are now being moved out of the tissues where they have been somewhat sequestered.
With immune system overload, there always seems to be a triggering event that overflows the cup. This is what often confuses people because they had been okay until the trigger event. There has usually been a slow buildup of processes and toxicity that go unnoticed for years until the camel's back is broken. That is essentially what autoimmune disease is.
There are any number of detoxification protocols available online. Just do some homework and find a couple of protocols that you can afford that ring true for you and sound like they could work. These things take time and should be rotated. Do not stick with the same protocol indefinitely. Supplements and herbals need to be rotated to maximize the effectiveness. After some time, you should get down to the best protocols for you and your issues. Then it is a matter of just utilizing those items when you need them. Listen to what your body is trying to tell you and go with your gut. Good luck.
Both of those are excellent - but there are some cautions. The zeolite needs to be from a reputable source. Some of it out there is crap and can be contaminated. Working with iodine can have some nuance. Displaced halogens in the body can cause their own set of problems. Here is an expert on iodine. He has several books. Dr Abraham, one of the first to really study iodine specifically, was Dr Brownstein's mentor.

Nascent iodine and zeolite are good for detox.
