Allergy Skin Testing
Allergy Skin Testing
Allergy skin testing places small amounts of common allergens on the skin and reads the reaction, identifying the specific triggers behind ongoing symptoms.
When It Is Typically Used
- Seasonal Symptoms — Testing separates pollen and mold triggers from year-round ones.
- Asthma and Allergies — Both are conditions the practice screens for during preventive care.
- Treatment Planning — Knowing the trigger makes avoidance and treatment far more effective.
Working Alongside Other On-Site Services
Results are reviewed with your history and any breathing testing performed in the office.
What to Expect
The test itself takes only minutes, with results read shortly afterward. Your provider will tell you which medications to hold beforehand.
