Discover your allergic triggers with allergy skin testing in Ventura CA
Do you suspect you may have an allergy? Before you change your life based on your own self-diagnosis, you really should get allergy skin testing in Ventura CA to confirm which specific allergens you need to avoid.
Signs You Should Get Allergy Skin Testing in Ventura CA
When confronted with an allergen, your immune system may throw a variety of different symptoms at you. These are some of the most common symptoms, and should cue you to the possible need for allergy skin testing in Ventura CA:
- Itchy or watery eyes
- Nasal congestion
- Runny nose
- Sneezing
- Coughing or wheezing
- Itchy, red, or swollen areas on skin
- Consistent vomiting or distress after eating a certain food

Is Allergy Skin Testing Safe?
Getting allergy skin testing in Ventura CA is safe because you are not exposed to enough of the potential allergen to cause your usual symptoms. Your allergist will apply a drop of a solution containing the suspected allergen to your skin, and if you are allergic a small swollen or itchy spot will appear within 15 to 20 minutes. After 30 minutes the spot will be gone.
