Contact allergy testing using patch application method.
Allergy testing identifies specific substances (allergens) that trigger your immune system, causing symptoms like sneezing, itching, hives, digestive issues, or anaphylaxis. Methods include skin prick testing (applying small amounts of allergens to the skin), blood tests (measuring IgE antibodies), and patch testing (for contact allergies). Accurate diagnosis allows for targeted avoidance strategies, immunotherapy (desensitization), or appropriate medication. Testing can cover environmental allergens (pollen, dust mites, mold), food allergens, drug allergies, and insect venom.
Key Details
Who Is This For?
People with unexplained allergic symptoms (sneezing, rash, digestive issues). Those suspecting food allergies or intolerances. Anyone with a history of severe allergic reactions wanting to identify triggers. People considering immunotherapy (allergy shots).
What's Included

Stop antihistamines 5–7 days before skin prick testing (as directed by your doctor). Bring a list of suspected allergens and symptoms. Bring your medication list. Blood-based allergy tests do not require stopping antihistamines.
