Immunology

My son has persistent allergy of eyes since 6 months. He had been having frequent bronchitis while younger but not anymore. His mother had TB of spine (pleurisy?) at the time of delivery (treated).  An opthalmologist​ opined he may have weak immunity. Would visiting a immunologist help? I am also confused since immunologists in Bangalore identify themselves as rheumatologists primarily.

Greetings. There can be few medical conditions associated with such presentation and should be ruled out by meeting a Dermatologist. The information provided is limited. A thorough history and clinical examination will be helpful. A photograph will add in obtaining better recommendations. Atopic dermatitis is a possibility.
Next Steps
Your dermatologist will decide a treatment plan for you after a consultation.
