4. What to expect from allergy skin testing

No needles are used to test for allergens, such as grasses, trees, weeds, mold, dust mites and foods. After applying a drop of allergen to a plastic applicator, we brush the applicator tip on your skin – usually your back. Most patients say the procedure either tickles or they don’t feel anything. A few tell us that it tingles or feels like a tiny prick. About 20 minutes later, our nurse reads the results by looking at how many hives develop on your skin. As the hives develop, you could experience some itching and burning. The hives’ size and redness help which allergens are causing your allergic reaction. After your results are documented, lotion is applied to your skin to alleviate any itching. (Read more about allergy skin testing)
