“Allergy Diagnostics” refers to the process of identifying whether a person has an allergy, what substances trigger it, and how severe the reaction may be.
Common allergy diagnostic methods include:
Medical history and symptom review
Timing and pattern of symptoms
Possible triggers (foods, pollen, dust mites, pets, medicines, insects, etc.)
Family history of allergies
Skin prick test
Small amounts of suspected allergens are placed on the skin (usually the forearm or back).
A raised, itchy bump may indicate sensitivity to that allergen.
