Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Allergy & Immunology care with Dr. Robert Mastrosimone:

What is an Allergist / Immunologist?

An allergist/immunologist is a medical specialist who diagnoses and treats conditions related to the immune system, including allergies and immunodeficiencies. They help identify triggers and develop strategies to prevent reactions, improving your overall well-being.

What can I expect during my first allergy consultation with Dr. Robert Mastrosimone?

Your first consultation with Dr. Mastrosimone will be a detailed detective process. We'll thoroughly review your symptoms, potential exposures, and family history. This may include diagnostic tests, like skin testing, to pinpoint specific triggers and create a personalized prevention plan.

I think I have a drug allergy. What should I do?

Stop the medication if safe to do so, and contact your prescribing doctor and an allergist immediately. Dr. Mastrosimone can help determine if it was a true drug allergy through a detailed history and, if necessary, specialized skin testing or a drug challenge to ensure future safety.

What is contact dermatitis?

Contact dermatitis is a skin rash caused by direct contact with a substance. It can be irritant dermatitis, caused by harsh chemicals, or allergic contact dermatitis, an immune reaction to things like nickel or poison ivy. Patch testing can help identify specific chemical triggers to prevent future rashes.

If I am allergic to one type of nut, do I have to avoid all nuts?

It's a common and important question. An allergy to one tree nut, like walnuts, does increase the risk of allergies to others, like pecans, but it's not a certainty. Dr. Mastrosimone can conduct specific testing to determine your exact nut allergies and create a safe dietary plan.

What is anaphylaxis and how can I prevent it?

Anaphylaxis is a severe, life-threatening allergic reaction. Prevention involves strictly avoiding known triggers, carrying an epinephrine auto-injector, and having a clear Anaphylaxis Emergency Action Plan, which Dr. Mastrosimone will help you create.

I have chronic hives (urticaria). What could be the cause?

Chronic hives, lasting more than six weeks, are often autoimmune in nature, not related to an external trigger. Dr. Mastrosimone is experienced in diagnosing the cause and utilizing advanced treatments, including biologic medications, to help prevent outbreaks.

What is an Asthma Action Plan?

An Asthma Action Plan is a personalized roadmap for managing asthma. It uses a green, yellow, red zone system to help you recognize worsening symptoms and know exactly which medications to take and when to seek emergency help. This plan is a critical tool for preventing severe asthma attacks.
