What Is a\nSkin Prick Test? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A skin prick test is the most common form of allergy testing. This test involves placing a small drop of an allergen extract on your skin. After an adequate period of waiting, any swelling or redness is measured and, depending on the size, is considered a positive reaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Does a\nBlood Test Work? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A blood test is used to measure how much of an allergen-specific antibody, called immunoglobulin E<\/a> (IgE), is in your blood. The more allergen specific IgE in your blood, the more likely you are to be allergic. Blood tests are typically used to confirm the results of a skin test; they may also be used in lieu of skin tests if a serious allergy makes skin testing unsafe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Are Food\nAllergies Tested? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Food allergies may be tested with a simple blood draw. Management of food allergy may need to be referred to an allergy\/immunology specialist.<\/p>\n\n\n
