Understanding Allergic Skin Tests

Allergic skin tests are scientific procedures designed to pinpoint allergens responsible for allergic diseases like asthma, allergic rhinitis, and eczema. During these tests, suspected allergens are introduced to the skin, and any resulting reactions are carefully observed. Alongside a thorough medical history, these tests help confirm whether substances encountered through touch, inhalation, or ingestion are causing symptoms.
