Allergy skin testing is a method to find out what you are allergic to. It is generally the best way to discover your allergies. Skin tests are done either by scratch/prick tests or intradermal tests. In scratch/prick tests, gentle pricks are made with disposable plastic prongs through drops of allergen extract on the skin of your back. In intradermal tests, small amounts of allergen extracts are injected into the skin of your upper arm. Theodore J.
