Combo-Pack for Allergic Skin Prick Test & Skin Test for Food Allergies
This Combo-Pack is designed to help identify allergic reactions to common allergens, including environmental and food-related triggers. It includes two types of tests:
-
Allergic Skin Prick Test
- A quick and minimally invasive diagnostic test to detect environmental allergens such as pollen, dust mites, pet dander, mold, and insect allergens (e.g., cockroach and mite allergens).
- Small amounts of allergens are placed on the skin, and a tiny prick is made to introduce them into the surface layer.
- If an individual is allergic, a small red bump (wheal) will appear at the test site within 15-20 minutes.
-
Skin Test for Food Allergies
- Identifies food-related allergies by testing reactions to common food allergens such as dairy, eggs, seafood, nuts, grains, and more.
- Helps detect IgE-mediated allergic reactions, which may cause symptoms like skin rashes, itching, swelling, digestive issues, or even anaphylaxis in severe cases.
- Conducted similarly to the skin prick test, with multiple food extracts applied to the skin.

About The Treatment
A Health Check-Up is a preventive medical examination designed to assess your overall health status and detect early signs of diseases or risk factors. These check-ups typically include a series of physical examinations, laboratory tests, and diagnostic screenings tailored to age, gender, medical history, and lifestyle.
Routine health check-ups are essential for early detection of conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, and cancer. They help doctors monitor critical indicators like blood pressure, cholesterol levels, organ function, and more. Depending on the package or provider, a health check-up can range from basic blood tests to advanced imaging like CT scans or full-body MRIs.
