Skin lab tests, designed to identify allergens, involve specific methods referred to as skin testing. According to the reference, there are two primary methods:
- Prick skin testing: This method involves applying individual solutions containing suspected allergens to the skin using a prick device. Results are typically available within 15 minutes.
- Intradermal skin testing: (Not detailed in the given reference but is the second main category mentioned).
Therefore, the overarching term for these procedures is "skin testing." The specific type of skin test performed will vary depending on the suspected allergen and the individual's medical history.
