What to expect for allergy test?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Relax: Allergy testing is easy and relatively painless. The most common is skin prick on the back which feels more like a tickle. You will have some itching after to any positives. This is easily treated and only lasts for around 30 min. You will want to make sure you don't take any antihistamines 5 days prior to your visit.
