Myths About Allergy Testing

Tests Yield Instant Results

• Many allergy tests need time before we can interpret them. Skin tests take between 20 and 30 minutes; blood test results take up to 7 days; and patch tests take a couple of days.

Allergy Testing Is Painful

• Most tests cause minimal pain, similar to a slight pinch. Skin or patch tests can lead to some itching, but that sensation generally goes away soon.

Allergy Tests Don’t Work for Kids

• Our team can safely and effectively test patients of any age, from infants to senior citizens. We tailor each test for the appropriate age, and we know how to keep children comfortable during testing. 

Over-the-Counter Testing Works Just as Well

• Only qualified professionals can provide accurate diagnoses and treatments. 

Testing Is All You Need

• Allergy testing is just the start of your journey. It gives us the results we need to create your treatment plan. Managing your allergies requires ongoing care and adherence to treatment plans. 

Using Different Methods to Meet Your Needs

We offer all types of allergy testing. Our team can assess your situation and recommend a treatment that will work best for you. 

• Skin testing introduces small amounts of allergens into the skin. If you are allergic, a red, itchy bump appears. This test diagnoses many common allergies, such as pollen, grass, pet dander, and other substances you encounter daily.
• Blood tests measure the number of specific antibodies in your blood. These antibodies signal allergies to certain substances. 
• Challenge tests expose you to allergens in a controlled setting. We use these tests to help determine whether you have allergies to certain foods or medications.
• Patch tests detect delayed allergic reactions. In this process, we place patches with allergens on your skin, usually on your back, for 48 hours. Then, we can observe any allergic reactions after removing the patches.
