What Is Allergy Skin Testing?
Allergy skin testing is a safe and reliable way to determine how your immune system reacts to specific allergens. It allows your allergist to quickly identify substances that may be causing allergic symptoms.
At our clinic, we offer two primary types of allergy skin testing:
- Skin Prick Testing
- Intradermal Testing
Both methods are performed under medical supervision and provide fast, accurate results.
Skin Prick Allergy Testing in Irvine
Skin prick testing is the most common and first-line method for diagnosing allergies.
How It Works
- A small amount of allergen extract is placed on the skin (usually the forearm or back)
- The skin is gently pricked so the allergen enters the surface
- Results are visible within 15–20 minutes
What It Can Detect
- Seasonal allergies (pollen, grass, trees, weeds)
- Dust mites and mold
- Pet dander
- Food allergies
- Environmental allergens
Benefits
✔ Quick results
✔ Minimal discomfort
✔ Highly accurate
✔ Safe for children and adults
Intradermal Allergy Testing in Irvine
Intradermal testing is used when skin prick results are negative or unclear, but allergy symptoms persist.
How It Works
- A small amount of allergen is injected just beneath the skin
- Produces a more sensitive response
- Carefully monitored by Dr. Ziyar
Common Uses
- Drug allergies
- Insect venom allergies
- Environmental allergens not detected by skin prick tests
Benefits
✔ Greater sensitivity
✔ Helpful for complex allergy cases
✔ Performed safely in a clinical setting
