Intradermal

Intradermal allergy testing is a skin test used to determine potential allergic triggers. At the Center for Allergy & Asthma of Georgia in metro Atlanta, our medical team uses intradermal allergy tests when skin prick tests provide negative results to a suspected allergic trigger.

What is the Procedure for Intradermal Allergy Testing?

First, one of our highly-qualified allergy doctors will inject a small amount of the potential allergen just under the skin. This sensitive testing method typically provides consistent results within 20 minutes of the initial injection; positive results are indicated by small hives that are red and swollen.

Who is a Candidate for Intradermal Allergy Testing?

Patients who have previously received negative results from a skin prick/scratch test, but still suspect that they are sensitive to certain allergens are optimal candidates for intradermal allergy testing. Our board-certified allergists at the Center for Allergy & Asthma of Georgia in Metro Atlanta also use intradermal skin testing when diagnosing allergic triggers in our patients whose initial allergy tests provided inconclusive results.
