Many people suffer from allergies. Food allergy and atopic dermatitis have become increasingly common among babies and infants. Children can develop asthma or allergic rhinitis as they grow up. And as an adult, you can still develop seasonal allergies, food allergy, or chronic eczema, which are very common. During this lecture, I would like to go over these common allergic conditions and the treatment. I also want to discuss the difference in testing and treatment of allergic conditions between Japan and the United States, focusing on the treatment you can only receive in the United States.
After registering, you will receive a confirmation email regarding your participation in the webinar.
