Question: What is the difference between an Intradermal and a Scratch test!?
Can't seem to find what is different about these two allergy tests, can anyone help clarify!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Scratch test is where they literally just scratch your skin with this metal little thing where at the end it's sharp!. They put a dot of liquid which contains allergens, such as pollen, grass, dust, etc!.

Intradermal is where they actually inject the allergens into your skin, (under your skin) it's actually more accurate than the scratch test!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
