What method are allergy tests carried out?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Skin test usually: Board certified allergists prefer skin testing although serum specific ige is also an option. Avoid igg tests as these are not helpful. For a quick read, see my blog at http://www.Familyallergyasthmacare.Com/2012/10/comfortable-allergy-skin-testing/.
