Going for allergy testing in may. will they test on the arm or back? i have a wrist phobia and pass out if anyone touches them... what can i expect?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Back can be used: at 17 you should have plenty of other areas available, but make sure to tell your doctor and his assistants where to NOT touch
