Allergy Testing

Skin prick testing is a reliable method used to assess an individual’s allergy status. However, test positivity alone is not sufficient for diagnosis - results must be correlated with medical history and clinical symptoms. The test typically takes about an hour to complete. Small pricks are made using common allergens, which are more superficial than those used for blood glucose monitoring. Readings are taken after 20 minutes to observe any redness or swelling, which are then recorded. This test is suitable for individuals aged five years and above.
