Testing

At Shepherd Allergy, we have multiple different types of testing to help ensure an accurate diagnosis. Dr. Shepherd will guide you on the best tailored approach.

Allergy Testing

  • Skin Prick Test (or Scratch Test)

    A small amount of allergen is scratched onto the skin with a plastic testing device.

  • Intradermal Test

    A small amount of allergen is injected under the skin with a small needle.

  • Patch Test

    A patch sticker is applied to the skin for a specific time and is read over time.
