There are various types of tests for allergies. The most common medical ones include:

 Blood testing for IgE antibodies. These blood tests show the specific substances to which your body had a full-blown allergic response involving IgE.

 Allergy skin tests. Sometimes called prick tests, they involve a quick prick of the skin with a minute amount of a specific allergen to determine whether the skin will become inflamed and irritated. If it does, it means you have an allergy to this substance.
