What is the confirmatory test for allergies

[CuriousCat]

Hello, I'm looking for help understanding what the confirmatory test for allergies is. I understand that there are a few different types of tests used to diagnose allergies, such as skin prick, patch, and blood tests, but I'm not sure which one is considered the confirmatory test. Can anyone provide any insights into this topic? What have been your experiences with confirmatory tests for allergies? Any advice or information would be greatly appreciated.

The confirmatory test for allergies is a skin prick test. This test is done by a doctor or allergist and involves placing a small drop of an allergen extract on the skin and then pricking the area with a needle. The results of the skin prick test will show whether or not the patient is allergic to the allergen. Blood tests can also be used to confirm an allergy diagnosis. In a blood test, the patient's antibody levels are checked to see if they have elevated levels of immunoglobulin E (IgE), which is an indication of an allergy.
