Accurate Skin Prick Testing for Allergies
The Skin Prick Test is a safe and effective way to identify allergens causing allergic reactions in children. At Dr. Mohit Jain's clinic, we offer expert allergy testing, including skin prick tests, to diagnose common allergies such as those triggered by pollen, dust mites, pet dander, and various foods.
How Does a Skin Prick Test Work?
During the test, small amounts of common allergens are placed on your child's skin, usually on the forearm or back, and a tiny needle is used to prick the skin under each allergen. This allows us to see which substances trigger an allergic reaction by observing any small red or raised bumps (wheals) that develop.
- Minimal discomfort for your child with quick results.
- Safe procedure performed under expert medical supervision.
- Test for various allergens, including dust, pollen, foods, and pets.
