A member asked:
I have to go for allergy testing tomorrow. what happens if i have a really major reaction?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Allergy Testing: Allergy testing is designed to cause a small skin reaction, but rarely ever causes any other symptoms. You have very very minimal chance of a "major" reaction. Only itching where the test is placed. This can be treated with topicals and an oral antihistamine and resolves fairly quickly.
