Allergy Evaluations

Procedure Description:
Allergy Consultation with Skin Testing

What To Expect:
When your appointment is made, we will mail you a history form to fill out. Please bring it with you to your appointment. Your visit will take about 45 minutes, longer if skin testing is performed.

Preprocedure:
Please do not take antihistamines (like Benadryl, Claritin, Allegra, Zyrtec) for at least one week before your appointment if you are to receive skin testing. If you take medications for blood pressure, glaucoma, heart disease, or migraine, make sure to put it on your history form and tell the doctor.

Postprocedure:
If you receive skin testing, the tests may itch for a few hours. Taking Benadryl or another antihistamine and applying 1% Hydrocortisone cream will help.
