Preparing questions in advance can help patients to have more meaningful discussions with their physicians. Patients may wish to ask their doctor the following questions about allergy skin tests:

1. What type of allergy skin test will you use on me?
   
   
2. Are there special steps I should take on the day of my allergy skin test?
   
   
3. Will I experience pain during or after the test?
   
   
4. Do I face any risks by undergoing an allergy skin test?
   
   
5. How accurate is the test I am undergoing?
   
   
6. When will the results of my test be available?
   
   
7. What do my test results indicate?
   
   
8. Will I need additional tests to confirm the diagnosis?
   
   
9. Now that I have been diagnosed, what are my treatment options?
   
   
10. Do you recommend that my children undergo allergy skin testing as well?
