Skin prick testing is commonly used to assess sensitivity to allergens such as pollen, dust mites, pets and moulds. Results are interpreted by a specialist alongside your symptoms.
How the test works
- Small drops of allergens are placed on the skin.
- A gentle prick helps the allergen contact the surface layer.
- The skin is observed for a reaction after a short period.
What it can help with
- Hay fever (allergic rhinitis)
- Persistent nasal symptoms
- Suspected environmental triggers
Important note
Some medicines (including antihistamines) can affect results. If a test is planned, you will be advised what to pause and when.
