Do you often experience runny nose, sneezing, rashes, itching, watery eyes, or breathing issues without knowing the reason?

You may be allergic to something in your surroundings, such as dust mites, pollen, pet dander, mold, or certain foods — and the Skin Prick Test (SPT) can help find out exactly what it is.

What is a Skin Prick Test?

The Skin Prick Test is a safe and simple allergy test that helps identify what substances (called allergens) you may be allergic to — such as dust, pollen, pets, certain foods, or insect bites. It’s considered the gold standard in allergy testing and is often the first step in managing your allergies better.

How Does the Test Work?

• A small drop of each suspected allergen is placed on your skin — usually on your forearm or back.

• The skin underneath each drop is lightly pricked with a tiny needle so the allergen can enter the skin.

• If you’re allergic to a substance, a small red, itchy bump will appear — similar to a mosquito bite — within 15–20 minutes.

What Can Be Tested?

We can test for allergies related to:

• Food (milk, eggs, peanuts, seafood, etc.)

• Dust mites and pollen

• Animal dander

• Insect stings or bites

• Mold

• Skin contact allergens (like latex or chemicals)

• Respiratory triggers (cockroach, smoke, pollution, etc.)

Why Get a Skin Prick Test?

• Find the exact trigger behind your allergies
• Helps personalize your treatment and prevention plan
• Supports decision-making for allergen immunotherapy
• Gives peace of mind by taking control of unexplained symptoms
