What conditions do allergists treat?

Allergists treat various conditions that affect several areas of your body, including the respiratory system, eyes, stomach, and skin.

More severe reactions can lead to inflammation, hives, asthma, and even death. Some of these conditions include:severe allergic reactions to medications, food, plants, animals, and insect bitesasthma and sinusitisautoimmune diseasescontact dermatitis and eczemagastrointestinal disordershay fever and allergic rhinitis

An allergist can identify the substance responsible for triggering an exaggerated response in your immune system by introducing small amounts of potential allergens to you. Your allergist may even conduct a blood test, which detects and measures the presence of allergens in your blood.
