For a version suitable for printing, click here. Skin Testing Skin testing is the most reliable allergy testing method. Skin testing results have proven more accurate than blood testing in diagnosing allergies, because most cells reside in high numbers just under the skin. The Skin Test Procedure A doctor will inject or scratch the skin’s surface with minute amounts of a number of specific allergens like mold spores, pollen, dust mites, and/or animal dander. If you are allergic to the allergen trigger, a small allergic reaction occurs on the skin. Usually within 30 minutes a small bump appears, sometimes causing itchiness or irritation. If no reaction is triggered, you are not allergic to that specific allergen. Depending on the results of your skin test, your allergist will determine the best way to treat your allergy symptoms.
