Allergy test..it was 120 allergen..and almost 100 was positive..a lot of red dots on my arms after the test..is that normal and what med to take ?

Allergy skin test: Common to have lots of red dots during an allergy skin test, some people do have sensitive skin that would react to anything applied to it, that's why there is a positive and a negative control to compare to. The doctor who performed the procedure would explain, and most probably you weren't allergic to all these elements or to any. Treatment depends on your case, allergy testing is just a procedure
