Allergic Diseases
Eczema
Eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, are chronic skin conditions caused by inflammatory reactions. Typical symptoms include redness, itching, and rashes. The causes of eczema are diverse and include genetic predispositions, environmental influences, and allergens. Early diagnosis by an experienced doctor is crucial for effective treatment. Our allergy department in Berlin Steglitz uses state-of-the-art techniques to identify triggers and develop customized therapy plans.
Hay Fever and Eye Inflammations
Hay fever, medically known as allergic rhinitis, is triggered by pollen and leads to symptoms such as sneezing, a runny nose, and itchy eyes. These complaints can significantly affect well-being, especially during the pollen season. In association with hay fever, allergic conjunctivitis often occurs, characterized by red, teary, and itchy eyes. Targeted treatment can significantly alleviate the symptoms and improve quality of life.
House Dust and Food Allergy
House dust mite allergies and food allergies are common triggers for allergic reactions. While house dust mite allergies often cause respiratory problems and skin reactions, food allergies can lead to gastrointestinal complaints, rashes, and anaphylactic reactions. A thorough medical history and specific allergy tests are essential to identify the exact triggers.
