Allergic diseases such as hay fever have been on the rise for years. Allergy testing and treatment are both part of the spectrum of care offered by dermatologists. At our practice, we offer prick tests and epicutaneous tests to diagnose hay fever and contact allergies.
For complex allergy testing – in to investigate food and drug allergies – we work together with the Allergy Ward of the University Hospital of Zurich, as well as some other institutions.
Allergology deals with the following diseases, among others:
- Pollen allergies (hay fever)
- House dust mite allergy
- Insect venom allergies
- Contact allergies, e.g. nickel, fragrances, etc.
We offer various diagnostic and therapeutic options:
- Allergy diagnostics based on history
- Prick testing for the diagnosis of type I allergies, e.g. hay fever, asthma, neurodermatitis
- Epicutaneous testing for the diagnosis of type IV allergies, e.g. allergic contact dermatitis
- Specific immunotherapy (hyposensitisation), e.g. for pollen or house dust mites
