Patch Test in Rome - Roma

Allergy is a process by which our body reacts abnormally and triggers our immune system in response to an allergen to evoke an answer that is not activated in other people usually. It is like a 'false alarm' of the immune system. Such people become sensitive to that particular substance that initiated it.

Allergy is primarily due to genetic factors and environmental factors. It can develop at any age; however, it is mainly noted in the early 20s of a person. Substances such as house dust mites, animal/pet dander, spices, peanuts, and drugs like penicillin can cause allergies.

The test involves a simple finger prick or blood test to determine the allergy to a specific substance beforehand, and it allows us to be vigilant to prevent future exposure.
