Allergy tests
Dear All,
I was advised against blood allergy tests and in favor of skin allergy tests. A healthcare expert I spoke to referred to blood allergy tests as complete waste of money. Could you please advise which test would be more informative in a child (and why) and would help to identify allergens better? Thank you in advance!

Skin prick tests are usually preferred, especially for kids. They give quick results, are cheaper, and are very effective at identifying common allergens like pollen or dust mites. Blood tests, while useful in some cases, are more expensive and less precise. If there are skin sensitivities, a blood test might be an option, but overall, skin tests tend to be more reliable for identifying allergens.
