Comprehensive allergy testing is the vital first step toward effective allergy management. At SoCal ENT, we provide a variety of advanced testing methods to accurately determine the triggers that cause your allergic reactions. This testing arsenal includes skin prick tests, intradermal tests, and blood tests, enabling us to construct a complete picture of your body's specific sensitivities. This comprehensive profile is then used to design your personalized treatment plan.
The procedure varies based on the testing method chosen by your allergist. Skin prick testing involves placing small drops of potential allergens on the skin and monitoring for a localized reaction. Intradermal testing requires injecting a minute amount of allergen just under the skin's surface. Blood tests work by measuring specific antibody levels in your bloodstream. Our specialists will select the most suitable testing method based on your unique situation. The overall process is generally comfortable and easy to tolerate.
