Quick answer
Allergy testing shows which specific triggers, like pollen, dust mites, pet dander, mold or certain foods, your immune system is reacting to. At Careprime Clinic, a provider reviews your symptoms first, then recommends a skin prick test, a blood (specific IgE) test or a patch test and goes over the results with you.

What we test for
Allergies show up in different ways for different people. These are the problems we see most often at our Highway 6 clinic.
Sounds likeMy nose runs and my eyes itch every spring, and again when the weather turns in fall.
How we helpWe look at when your symptoms flare and can test for common outdoor triggers like tree, grass and weed pollen.
Sounds likeI wake up stuffy every morning, and it gets worse when I dust or pet the dog.
How we helpTesting can show whether dust mites, pet dander or mold spores are part of the problem, so you know what to change at home.
Sounds likeMy lips tingle or I break out in hives after I eat certain things.
How we helpWe take a careful food history and may use skin prick or blood testing to help pinpoint the foods involved.
Sounds likeI get an itchy rash wherever my watch band or a new lotion touches.
How we helpPatch testing is used for contact dermatitis. The patches stay on your back for about 48 hours before the skin is checked.
Sounds likeThe swelling from a wasp sting spread way past the spot where I got stung.
How we helpWe review what happened, talk about whether testing makes sense, and help you plan for a severe reaction.
Sounds likeMy son is always sniffling and rubbing his eyes, and it’s not a cold.
How we helpWe see kids and teens too. The provider picks a test that fits your child’s age, skin and medical history.
Colds, sinus infections and allergies can look alike, so a visit is a good first step. See acute conditions for other causes.
Symptoms
An allergy is your immune system overreacting to something that is usually harmless, like pollen or pet hair. Symptoms can show up in the nose, eyes, skin, lungs or stomach, and they range from annoying to dangerous.
Symptoms that come back at the same time each year, or around the same pet, food or place, are a strong clue. Jot down when they happen and bring the notes to your visit.
Test types
Both tests look for allergic sensitivity, and your provider picks the one that fits your health, your skin and the medicines you take.
| Skin prick test | Blood (specific IgE) test | |
|---|---|---|
| How it’s done | Tiny drops of allergen go on the forearm or back, then the skin is lightly pricked | A routine blood draw from the arm |
| What a positive looks like | A raised, red bump (wheal) at the test spot | Higher levels of IgE antibodies to a specific allergen |
| Good choice when | Your skin is clear and you can pause medicines that interfere | You have a skin condition, take medicines that affect skin results, or prefer a blood draw |
| What it feels like | A light scratch, then some itching where you react | A quick needle stick |
| Common uses | Pollen, pet dander, dust mites and certain foods | The same kinds of triggers, including food allergy workups |
Patch testing is a separate test used for contact skin allergies (contact dermatitis).
Where to go
Most allergy problems can be handled at a primary care clinic, but a severe reaction is an emergency.
Ongoing sneezing, congestion, itchy eyes, hives, rashes, mild food reactions and allergy testing. Walk in or book a visit at 15030 Highway 6.
Good for talking through seasonal symptoms, reviewing results or refilling allergy medicines when you don’t need an exam. The tests themselves are done in the clinic.
Call 911 for throat or tongue swelling, trouble breathing, fainting or a fast-spreading reaction after a food, sting or medicine. Use your epinephrine auto-injector first if you have one.
Diagnosis
Testing works best when it’s matched to your history, so the visit starts with questions, not needles. A negative test doesn’t rule out every cause of your symptoms, and a positive test only matters if it fits what you’re feeling.
Small amounts of possible allergens are placed on the skin and watched for a raised, red bump. It’s often used for pollen, pet dander, dust mites and some foods.
Measures allergy antibodies in a blood sample. Useful for people with eczema or other skin problems, or those who can’t stop medicines that block skin tests.
Combines a detailed food history with skin prick and blood testing to help narrow down which foods are causing trouble.
Checks for contact allergies to things like metals, fragrances or chemicals. Patches stay on the back for about 48 hours before they’re read.
Often the most useful step. We ask when symptoms start, where you are when they hit, what you ate and what has or hasn’t helped.
If your symptoms could point to something else, like an infection, the provider may order other tests.

Treatment
Testing is the starting point, not the finish line. Once we know your triggers, we put together a plan that fits your home, your job and your family, then adjust it at follow-up visits.
Plans often start with practical steps, like washing bedding in hot water, keeping pets out of the bedroom or reading food labels closely. Medicines such as antihistamines, decongestants or nasal steroid sprays may be added. Patients with severe allergies get an emergency action plan, and for some people, allergy immunotherapy (shots or drops) may be discussed.
