Allergy is an abnormal response of the immune system against external exposure or the body’s own substance.
This reaction may occur due to genetic factors, the body’s sensitivity to that substance, long-term exposure to the allergen substance, stress, and the effect of distressed mood on the immune system.
Symptoms such as redness, itching, swelling (edema), increase in some secretions as a result of excessive secretion of immune system substances against factors such as allergens, such as house dust, pollen, various foods, drugs, viruses, cigarette smoke, cold windy air. These, in turn, form the picture we call allergic discomfort. Complaints may develop as continuous or periodic repetitions.
The factors that we call allergens are harmless to most people. However, they have an effect on sensitive people, which we call atopic structure.

Allergic diseases can be diagnosed as a result of the patient’s history and examination.
Allergen can be detected by performing allergy tests.
