Allergy Skin Prick Testing in Patan

Unique Hospital & ICCU is proud to introduce North Gujarat's first dedicated Allergy Testing clinic under Dr. Haresh Patel (Diploma in Allergy & Asthma from CMC Vellore). Skin Prick Testing (SPT) is the gold standard diagnostic method recommended worldwide for identifying specific allergen triggers responsible for allergic asthma, allergic rhinitis (hay fever), skin hives, and food allergies.

What Does the Test Involve?

During the procedure, microscopic droplets of purified allergen extracts (pollens, house dust mites, fungal spores, animal dander, insect venom, and food proteins) are placed on the forearm. A tiny, painless lancet gently pricks the top layer of skin. Results are visible within 15 to 20 minutes: a small raised bump (wheal) indicates a positive allergic response.

  • Quick, safe, and virtually painless procedure (takes ~20 minutes).
  • Standardized allergen panel tailored for Indian environmental exposures.
  • Provides actionable precise data to initiate targeted Immunotherapy.

Who Should Get Tested?

Patients suffering from chronic sneezing, running nose, eye itching, persistent wheezing, unexplained coughing fits, skin eczema, or food sensitivities should undergo skin prick testing to pinpoint the underlying cause.
