I got it done recently actually, the skin ones i t c h
They aren’t 100%, just probable. When I was little I apparently tested allergic to almonds, and I loved almonds as in I ate them constantly.
Before the pandemic I did take allergy shots, but because of COVID risks I stopped them. My asthma and allergies got worse, so they definitely helped.

It has been some years, but yes was tested. The doctor injected a bunch of possible allergens under the skin on my back. The ones that swelled or reddened were diagnosed as something to which I am allergic. After this I took allergy shots for some months. They failed to work however and my parents took me off them.
Today I take a prescription allergy med (that I swallow) and it works most of the time.

Yep. A skin one.

So they poked me with needles with possible (and assumed) allergens. The ones that itched and whatever was happening on my back I was told not to itch, but to tell them.

After, they waited a while and told me my allergies. Turns out, out of all those, I’m allergic to sunscreen.

It may have changed, I was a kindergartner when it happened so I don’t remember much.
