Allergists use a detailed history and a physical exam to determine the most likely cause of allergy symptoms. We use skin tests or blood tests to confirm the specific cause. Allergy skin tests are the gold standard, give us an immediate answer and are more cost effective than the blood tests. The blood tests are sometimes used when skin conditions or medications do not permit a valid skin test.
