Allergy Centers for Patch Test in Wien
I came down with some eczema-like rash a couple days ago, and the doctor at the AKH prescribed me some oral antihistamine and a steroid ointment. The rash shows no sign of improving though, and it's even spreading to my face.
The doctor also recommended taking a Patch Test at an allergy center to pin down the exact triggering substance to my reaction (although she said it was likely to be photoallergy). Does anyone have any recommendation as to which Allergy Center I should go to? Aside from the Patch Test, are they capable of prescribing me more medications?

I have been to the Allergie-Ambulatorium Innere Stadt (http://www.allergie-wien1.at/) for a prick test. But I know that they also do patch test there. They saw me pretty quickly, without problems. However I had to get a request from my general doctor for the test, although this wasn't a problem at all and the whole process was quick. If you consider going there you might want to call them tomorrow (closed today for the 1st) and ask your doctor too.
second this. it's one of the bigger centers in vienna.
