Allergy Skin Testing for Students

Identify the sources of your sneezing! SHAC offers allergy skin testing for UNM students. Skin testing can yield useful information about allergic sensitivities. During these tests, your skin is exposed to allergy-causing substances (allergens), and then is observed for signs of an allergic reaction. Along with a medical history, skin tests can confirm whether signs and symptoms, such as sneezing, wheezing, and skin rashes, are caused by allergies. They can also identify the specific substances that trigger allergic reactions. Such information can help your health provider develop an allergy treatment plan that may include allergen avoidance, medications, or allergy shots (immunotherapy).

Students can call the SHAC Reception Area at 277-3136 to schedule a medical evaluation to see if they would be a candidate for testing.
