The prick test is most commonly used to test whether an allergy is present. House dust mite allergies, animal hair allergies and other allergies of the immediate type (type I allergies) can be diagnosed quickly and painlessly with a prick test. The allergy-causing substances are applied to the scratched skin on the forearm and a reaction appears on the skin after a few minutes.
