A basic skin allergy panel is a medical test designed to identify common allergens that may trigger allergic reactions in individuals. This test typically involves a series of skin prick tests to evaluate sensitivities to different substances.

Why You Might Need This Test

If you experience symptoms such as itching, swelling, or hives, a basic skin allergy panel can help pinpoint the exact allergens causing these reactions. Knowing your sensitivities allows for better management of your environment and lifestyle.

Understanding the Results

Results from the basic skin allergy panel can reveal reactions to common allergens like pollen, dust mites, and pet dander. Consulting with an allergist can provide a detailed interpretation of your test outcomes and advise on how to minimize exposure.
