Allergic Reactions
Alternate Names : Acquired Sensitivity Reaction, Induced Sensitivity Reaction
How is the condition diagnosed?
Diagnosis of an allergic reaction begins with a medical history and physical
examination. In some cases, special skin tests or other allergy testing may be needed to
determine the trigger. In skin testing, small amounts of the suspected
substance can be injected under the skin. If a person is allergic to the
substance, a skin reaction usually occurs.
