Allergy treatment is a process that takes a long time( several years).The main method is called hyposensitization, it consists of a whole complex of therapeutic measures designed to "extinguish", reduce the body's reaction to foreign bodies. One of the methods of such therapy is the very often used introduction of very small doses of an allergen in order that the body "wastes" substances intended to fight it. Due to such measures, the amount of substances responsible for the "evacuation" of foreign bodies is reduced to normal and the reaction to the allergen ceases to be excessively strong.

Causes of

The allergic reaction can develop in two types( immediate or delayed), although in general the mechanisms are similar in both cases. A special type of cell that enters the immune system "remembers" its own and foreign bodies. Microorganisms, identified by these cells as foreign, are subject to immediate removal from the body. If this process is too intense, their own, native cells are damaged, which is the cause of the allergy. With an immediate type, the reaction occurs within a few hours after contact with the allergen, and when delayed, this period increases to several days.

The predisposition of a person to allergy is due to his genetics and is inherited, so if someone in the family has an allergy, the likelihood that it will be passed on to the newborn is very high. The allergy on the face of the baby, however, may appear in consequence of the incorrect course of pregnancy, for example, with the use during this period of the future mother of alcohol, when smoking a pregnant woman, lack of proper nutrition.
