• Skin Tests

If we have an idea or impression of the existence an allergy, we begin with a skin test. This includes pricking or scratching the skin with a little measure of fluid concentrate of an allergen, (for example food or pollen). Assuming that the zone swells up and gets red the test is said to be certain, implying that the individual is hypersensitive to that substance.
