Allergology

Allergology symbol of the Hirschstrasse dermatology practice in Ulm

Allergies are on the increase these days. But not everything that the layman calls an “allergy” is actually an allergy! If there is a well-founded suspicion of an allergy based on the patient’s medical history, symptoms and the course of the allergy over time, we carry out an appropriate allergy test. Depending on the type of allergy (immediate and delayed type allergy), the appropriate test procedure (prick test, RAST test) is selected.

If pollen allergy (among others) is confirmed, treatment is symptomatic and by means of individually planned, specific immunotherapy (hyposensitization). In this way, it is often possible to alleviate the symptoms, in most cases also to be free of symptoms, to reduce the consumption of medication and to prevent long-term effects (such as bronchial asthma).
