What is allergy testing?


For someone that has never had allergies before in their life – allergies can present itself as the common cold. However, for someone that has struggled with allergies all of their life, the doctors and medical professionals at Columbia Clinic Urgent Care know that they can become rather pesky and really start to interfere with the quality of life. If you think that you or someone you know is struggling with allergies, then it is time that you schedule a time to come into Columbia Clinic Urgent Care to be tested. Our doctors and medical professionals will be sure to work till we find out exactly what you are allergic to. During the initial allergy skin testing, your skin will be exposed to a variety of suspected allergy-causing allergens and then, after a short period of time, it will then be observed by our doctor for any signs of an allergic reaction. The purpose of an allergy test, along with your past medical history, they will be able to see and confirm that whether or not a particular allergen that you either touch, breath or eat – is causing you to have allergic reactions. Allergens are substances that your body overacts to.

What allergies will you test for?


Typically, the doctors and medical professionals at Columbia Clinic Urgent Care test for very common allergens. The most commonly tested allergies include, but are not limited to:

– Dust mites
– Pollen
– Pet dander and hair
– Medications
– Stinging insect venom
– Natural rubber latex

Is skin testing painful?


Skin testing for allergies has very little to no pain. But however, if you have a positive reaction, that can cause very annoying little itching red bumps which look & feel like mosquito bites. The itching and the bumps typically subside in just a few short minutes or hours. You can partner with your doctor at Columbia Clinic Urgent Care and ask if they may apply a special cream to your skin to help address and decrease the reaction, or if it is possible to have you take an antihistamine after testing.
