Allergy Skin Testing
Allergy skin testing is a diagnostic procedure used to identify specific allergens that may be triggering your allergic reactions. At MyTexasAllergy.com, we offer comprehensive skin testing to help pinpoint the root causes of your allergies and develop an effective treatment plan.
During a skin test, small amounts of common allergens are applied to the skin, typically on the forearm or back. The skin is then pricked or scratched with a sterile device to introduce the allergen into the skin's surface. After a short waiting period, usually around 15-20 minutes, our healthcare professionals observe the skin for any signs of a reaction, such as redness, swelling, or itching.
Skin testing is a safe and effective way to identify allergens that may be causing your symptoms, such as sneezing, itching, congestion, or hives. It provides more detailed and accurate results compared to other methods, such as blood testing or patient history alone.
At MyTexasAllergy.com, our team of experienced allergy specialists conducts skin testing in a comfortable and controlled environment. We use a comprehensive panel of allergens based on common triggers in your area, including pollen, dust mites, pet dander, molds, and more.
Once we have identified your specific allergens, we can work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan to manage your allergies effectively. This may include medications, immunotherapy (allergy shots or drops), environmental modifications, and lifestyle changes tailored to your individual needs.
If you're experiencing allergy symptoms and suspect that you may have allergies, schedule a consultation with us to discuss the possibility of allergy skin testing. Our team is here to help you find relief from your symptoms and improve your quality of life.
