What Are Allergies?

 Allergies occur when your immune system overreacts to substances (called allergens) that are typically harmless to most people. When exposed, your body sees the allergen as a threat and produces histamines, leading to a variety of symptoms. 

Common Types of Allergies We Test For

Pollen (trees, grasses, weeds)

Understanding Allergies: Symptoms, Testing & Treatment Options

 Allergies are among the most common chronic conditions, affecting millions of individuals across the U.S. They can disrupt your daily life and, if left untreated, may worsen over time. At Allerexa, we specialize in helping patients identify and manage allergies through evidence-based testing and personalized immunotherapy. 

Common Allergy Symptoms

 Allergy symptoms can vary based on the allergen and the severity of your body’s reaction. Common signs include:

  • Sneezing or runny nose
  • Nasal congestion
  • Itchy or watery eyes
  • Chronic cough or wheezing
  • Rashes or hives
  • Digestive upset (in food allergies)
  • Shortness of breath or chest tightness

When Should You Consider an Allergy Test?

 You may want to consider an allergy skin prick test if you:

  • Experience seasonal symptoms year after year
  • Have unexplained respiratory issues
  • Suffer from frequent sinus infections or congestion
  • Notice symptoms after eating, being outdoors, or around pets
  • Use allergy medications frequently without long-term relief
  • Have a family history of allergies or asthma

Our in-office skin prick test is safe, quick, and effective. In under 20 minutes, we can identify which allergens you may be reacting to.

What Happens After You’re Diagnosed?

 If you test positive for one or more allergens, we offer custom-compounded allergy immunotherapy designed specifically for your needs. 

Who Is Immunotherapy Best For?

Allergy immunotherapy is ideal for:

  • Patients with moderate to severe environmental allergies
  • Those who want a long-term solution, not just symptom management
  • Individuals who respond poorly to medications
  • Patients with multiple allergies (10–20 or more allergens)
  • Children and adults (under physician supervision)

Our personalized immunotherapy helps your body gradually build tolerance to allergens, reducing symptoms and improving quality of life over time.
