Types of Allergies
Allergies fall under two categories: seasonal and perennial. Seasonal allergies only occur during specific times of the year whereas perennial allergies are year-round. The most common types of allergens are mold, pet hair, dust, and pollen.
Allergy Testing
We offer allergy testing for adults and children. We most often will perform a skin prick test (SPT) because of its high rate of reliability and minimal discomfort.
Skin prick testing involves gently pressing a small plastic device dipped into different allergens onto the skin of your forearms or your back. These allergens remain on the skin for at least 20 minutes. After testing, we will go over the results with you.
Allergy Shots
Allergy shots are a type of immunotherapy that help retrain your nose, sinuses, and immune system to be less reactive to what you are allergic to. These are administered under the skin with a needle.
Administered every 4-10 days
Build-up phase must be done in office
Possible injection site reactions
