How do they do a scratch test? and would they be able to tell me what I'm allergic to on the same day?
Thanks
Answer:
they take a little plastic thing with slightly sharp edges and dip it in a solution of whatever allergen they are testing they then lightly scratch you skin if it swell and itches you are allergic if not wtg i have had it done twice it is painless the only annoying part is you cant move wherever they do it for like 20 minutes it had mine done on my arms my mom had it done on her back thats about it
Answer:
In an Allergy scratch test what they do is prick your skin with a needle or pin containing a small amount of the allergen that attempts to provoke a small controlled allergic response positive reactions usually appear within 20 minutes. Hope this helped :)
