Skin Testing


Timmy had his skin testing this morning. Unfortunately, he is still allergic to eggs. The bump in the middle is the egg serum reacting on his skin.

The great news is that his blood work shows negative and that means that there are no antibodies in his blood. The doctor was very happy about that.

To pass the skin test, the welt (if it forms) must be no larger than 3mm. Timmy's was 6mm this morning. The doctor was even happy with how small the welt was.

All in all, the test went well...even if it came back positive. Tim was a trooper through the whole itchy process!
