Allergy testing
 Skin testing can help confirm the diagnosis and identify the allergen. For these tests, a drop of each extract is placed on the person’s skin, which is then pricked with a needle through the drop. Doctors then watch to see if there is a wheal and flare reaction (a pale, slightly elevated swelling surrounded by a red area) An Allergen-specific serum IgE tests is done if results of the skin test are unclear. For this test, a sample of blood is withdrawn and tested.
