An allergist uses
skin testing to determine if a patient is allergic to airborne
allergens, certain foods, insect venoms or sometimes
medications. Allergy testing has been found to be more accurate
than serologic (blood) testing. Skin testing has changed
significantly over the years.
Less painful and
invasive methods are now available. ADC allergists use the
latest in testing, offering a more efficient and less painful
way to test for allergies. Results are quickly obtained on the
day of testing. Intradermal testing is sometimes offered, but
our primary method is using the Multi-Test II device.
The Multi-Test II enables your doctor to perform 24 skin tests
in 30 seconds. This method of testing is well tolerated by
adults and children. If you have any
questions about skin testing, please contact our office at
512/901-4002 and ask to speak to one of our nurses.
