summary

I had the experience of suffering from urticaria before. At that time, I didn't know the allergen, so no matter how the treatment effect was, it was not very good. Later, I went to the hospital for testing, so that the treatment was on the right track. Here's how to check for urticaria allergens.

How to check urticaria allergen

One: patch test: make the test object directly contact with the skin to observe its reaction. This method is often used to test the allergens of contact dermatitis;

Second: IgE detection: for a specific allergen detection, such as trees, flowers, house dust mites, milk, chocolate, peanuts, nuts, eggs, seafood, fish, chicken, etc.; patients can also record according to their own living habits and living environment, which can provide great help for the final determination of allergens.

Third: prick test: a special prick needle is used to prick into the skin to make the test solution directly contact with the sensitized cells in the skin and cause reaction. This method is relatively simple, generally 15 ~ 20 minutes to know the results;
