Allergy Testing

Allergens affect everyone differently, and some people have more severe reactions than others. Your allergist will listen as you share about any reactions you or your child may have experienced previously to determine which test is right for you. Allergy skin testing is performed with allergen extracts or vaccines that meet U.S. Food and Drug Administration requirements to ensure the safety of their use.

Allergy Test Types

Skin Test

A very small amount of allergens are put into your skin by making a small indentation on the surface of the skin. This is the most common type of allergy testing.

Challenge Tests

A very small amount of an allergen is inhaled or taken by mouth. This type of testing is supervised by an allergist and usually performed with potential food or medication allergies.

Blood Test

Blood is drawn when skin tests are unsafe or will not work. This can happen if you have a skin condition or if you are taking certain medications.
