Skin prick test

The skin prick test is to drop a small amount of highly purified allergen liquid on the patient's forearm and then gently pierce the skin with a prick needle. If the patient is allergic to the allergen, a red bump similar to a mosquito bite will appear in the puncture site within 15 minutes, an itchy reaction, or a change in color will occur. We are basically able to compare and determine the presence of allergic diseases. The skin spot test is now recognized as the most convenient, economical, safe, and effective allergen diagnostic method in European countries and the United States. Its advantages are high safety and sensitivity, no pain for patients, just like being bitten by mosquitoes. You can know the test results immediately.
