Allergy Test Clinic

Skin Prick Test

Skin Prick Test is a safe allergy test to determine how your immune system reacts to the commonest potential allergens by pricking your skin through a tiny amount of suspected fluid allergens using a very fine needle. If you are suffering from Allergic Rhinitis, Hay Fever, Asthma, Allergic Conjunctivitis, Eczema, Hives, Contact Dermatitis, Gastroenteritis or food allergy, you are encouraged to take the Skin Prick Test at our Allergy Test Clinic.


Who should take the Skin Prick Test?

If you are suffering from Allergic Rhinitis, Hay Fever, Asthma, Allergic Conjunctivitis, Eczema, Hives, Contact Dermatitis, Gastroenteritis or food allergy, you are encouraged to take the Skin Prick Test.


Why should you take the Skin Prick Test?

It is because the disease you are suffering is actually caused by allergy, the overreaction of you body's immune system to a specific allergen misidentified as harmful. Whatever the allergen is, allergic reaction symptoms can be miserable, ranging from a runny nose and watery eyes to breathing problems, diarrhea, hives, and even death. If you find out that specific allergen and avoid it, the symptoms and discomfort can be lessened.
