Environmental allergy skin testing
Skin on arm or back is lightly pricked with a plastic device containing a drop of fluid representing the allergen. After fifteen minutes, the localized skin reaction is measured. There is little pain involved in this procedure. We test various tree pollen, weeds, grasses, molds, dust mites and animals.

Food allergy testing
Skin testing and/or blood work may be done to diagnose food allergy. Food allergy can occur at any age, from infancy to late adulthood. Food allergy may affect eczema, cause hives/swelling reactions, may even by life threatening. We have a wide variety to foods available for testing.

Drug allergy skin testing
Skin testing is also available for some medications, especially antibiotics. Most people “lose” their allergy after avoiding the antibiotic for 10 years or longer. Ask our office about antibiotic allergy skin testing.
