How Allergy Testing Works
Our physicians utilize a combination of scratch or prick tests as well as other intradermal skin tests. This allows them to determine what could be causing your allergies to flare.
Allergies in the Midwest could be caused by any of the following:
- Grasses
- Weeds
- Trees
- Molds
- Dust mites
- Pets and other animals
After Specific Allergies Are Diagnosed
Your treatment options will be personalized based on what your doctor discovers in your test results. These options may include:
- Avoiding the allergen or cause of your allergies
- Immunotherapy, including allergy shots and sublingual drops
