Allergy testing/ skin reaction?

I recently was tested for my outdoor allergies. I had the little pricks on my back %26amp; then shots of it in the arm to double check the ones that came up negative. That was 6 days ago %26amp; some of the red areas on my arm haven't gone away! Should I be concerned about this? I'm not having any bad reactions except it kind of looks like a small rash at the injection sites. I guess I just expected it to have gone away by now.... Help?

Allergy testing/ skin reaction?
No. This is normal and unless they look infected, there is no reason to worry. Sometimes the areas are just super sensitive after the testing. Try putting topical steroid cream like hydrocortisone 1% on the area.





Good luck!
Reply:that sounds like a long time. but some of us have sensitive skin and it's not even a reaction you are seeing, but just the actual little prick from the needle. those take a couple extra days. so, if it's just the one's where the needles were, it's probably not the allergen that your arm is still reacting to, but just the needle.


good luck!
Reply:I had the same thing when I was tested it should be alright.Just keep a eye on it,and notify your D.R. if it gets worse.
Reply:You should have a return appointment with your doctor to check the places on your arm, but you are in no danger if it just appears as a small rash. It will just tell the doctor that you are allergic to those things. If you should experience difficulty breathing then that would indicate a more severe reaction which would require immediate medical attention
Reply:Put some benadryl creme on it.
Reply:Calm down... somtimes stress can worsen or cause a rash. First off, put some aloe vera on it, and then call your doctor to see if this normally happens.
Reply:No you're fine. Ive had that so many tI'mes before. because I'm deadly allergic to peanuts, tree nuts, (these next things im not deadly allergic to just allergic) pollen, dust, dust mites, trees, grass, any animal that has fur and some kind of medicine that i cant remember the name of. Don't worry about it.
Reply:If you are allergic to the places they shot in your arm, I don't think it is uncommon to last that long. I am allergic to nickel and if i touch it for even a minute, my break out will last about a week or 2.








Good luck.
