Skin Prick Allergy Testing

This safe, quick procedure identifies allergies to common triggers like pollen and dust mites in 15 minutes to allow for tailored, immediate treatment plans. 

This test is particularly helpful for patients experiencing:

  • Persistent nasal blockage
  • Sneezing and nasal itching
  • Runny nose
  • Suspected hay fever
  • Year round Rhinitis
  • Recurrent sinus symptoms

During your appointment, small drops of common allergens are placed on the forearm. The skin is gently pricked through each drop. If you are allergic, a small raised bump appears within 15 minutes.

Results will be available immediately, allows us to:

  • Confirm whether symptoms are allergy-driven
  • Tailor treatment precisely
  • Advise on allergen avoidance
  • Consider immunotherapy where appropriate.

The allergy test is minimally uncomforable, does not involved injections into the bloodstream and is suitable for adults.
