Hi roxysurfingchic! Thanks for your question. The most common test your doctor would do is a scratch skin test. They will make a small scratch on your skin with the allergen and see what the reaction is. This is just a very small amount of the allergen and done in a controlled way at the doctors office. However, some allergies are dangerous to test this way so your doctor may do a blood test or put you on a special diet instead.
