• Sinusitis
  Sinusitis is an inflammation often caused by a bacterial infection. It can occur after a respiratory infection like a common cold. People with allergies or asthma are prone to suffer from chronic sinusitis due to the likelihood of their airways becoming inflamed.

• Eczema
  Eczema, also called Atopic Dermatitis, is common, especially in children. It causes dry, irritated, inflamed skin.

Allergists

• Allergies
  Hypersensitivity to local anesthetics is rare but could be diagnosed through allergy testing. During the test, we lightly prick the skin on the arm with a plastic applicator that contains a tiny amount of anesthesia. Sensitivity typically results in a raised, red, itchy spot after about 15 minutes.
