Frequently Asked Questions (Allergy Testing)

Why is allergy testing important?

Allergy testing helps identify specific allergens causing your symptoms, allowing for accurate diagnosis and effective management. It helps tailor treatment plans to reduce or eliminate allergic reactions.

We offer skin prick testing, blood tests (RAST), and patch testing to identify a wide range of allergens, including environmental, food, and contact allergens.

Skin prick testing involves applying small amounts of potential allergens to your skin using a tiny needle. If you are allergic to a substance, you will develop a small raised bump or reaction at the test site.

Skin prick testing directly exposes your skin to allergens, while blood tests measure the presence of specific antibodies in your blood. Blood tests are useful for those who cannot undergo skin prick testing due to certain conditions or medications.

Patch testing involves applying patches containing potential allergens to your skin, usually on your back. These patches are left in place for 48 hours, and reactions are monitored over the next few days to diagnose contact allergies.

Our pharmacists will provide specific instructions based on the type of test you will undergo. Generally, you may need to avoid certain medications that can affect test results and refrain from using lotions or creams on the test area.

Allergy tests are generally well-tolerated and cause minimal discomfort. Skin prick testing may cause slight itching or a small raised bump, while blood tests involve a standard blood draw.
