Allergy Consultation
An allergy consultation begins with a comprehensive review of your medical history, including your general health, family history of allergies and current symptoms. This is followed by a general physical examination or a focused assessment of the affected area. When appropriate, the allergist may recommend one or more allergy tests to identify the allergens responsible for the condition.

Skin Prick Test
The skin prick test is a first-line allergy test used to diagnose respiratory or food allergies to one or more substances. Its primary purpose is to accurately identify the allergens responsible for the allergic reaction, enabling patients to take appropriate dietary or lifestyle measures to minimise exposure and effectively manage their condition.
