Allergy & Immunology
Allergy testing (skin/blood)
Tests that identify specific substances triggering an allergic reaction.
When this is typically needed
- Recurring allergic reactions with unclear trigger
- Suspected food or environmental allergy
- Chronic hives or sinus symptoms
What it involves
Skin prick testing (results in ~20 minutes) or a blood test (IgE panel) depending on what's being tested and patient factors.
What to expect
Results identify specific triggers to avoid, and guide whether immunotherapy is a reasonable next step.
