Do Any of These Sound Familiar?
Allergy symptoms can resemble a recurring cold or “sinus problem.” Testing may help identify likely triggers rather than relying only on guesswork.
Itchy, watery eyes
Recurring “sinus” symptoms that do not fully settle with medication
Skin reactions such as rashes or hives after certain foods or exposures
Symptoms that worsen indoors or around bedding and dust
Symptoms that worsen around pets or during particular seasons
If this sounds like you or your child, a skin prick test can help identify likely triggers instead of relying on guesswork.
What the test involves
Simple. Same Visit. No Guesswork.
Selected allergens are applied
A small panel may include house dust mites, pollen, pet dander and selected foods, depending on the clinical assessment.
Reactions are assessed
The skin is observed for mild reactions, generally within approximately 15–20 minutes.
Your results are explained
You leave with a clearer understanding of likely triggers and the doctor discusses appropriate next steps.
Before your appointment: Antihistamines can affect test results. Our team will guide you on what may need to be paused and for how long. Do not stop regular medicines without medical advice.

Dr. Karandeep Singh
MBBS, DNB (ENT), Master of Surgery-ENT
Dr. Karandeep Singh provides ENT-led allergy assessment, skin prick testing and personalised guidance for allergic rhinitis, recurring sinus symptoms and nasal obstruction. His approach begins with identifying likely triggers and understanding whether symptoms are allergy-related, structural or a combination of both.
After testing
What Happens After the Test?
Your results are reviewed in the context of your symptoms. The next step depends on what is identified and what is clinically appropriate for you.
Allergen avoidance guidance
Practical advice to reduce exposure to confirmed or suspected triggers in daily life.
Medicines or sprays
Targeted symptom management may be discussed according to your findings and clinical needs.
Immunotherapy discussion
For suitable confirmed cases, longer-term allergen immunotherapy may be explained as an option.
Allergy and structural blockage are different issues. Medicines and allergy treatment may reduce inflammation, but they cannot physically straighten a deviated nasal septum. Persistent blockage, breathing difficulty or recurring sinus symptoms may require separate ENT assessment.
Everyday guidance
Ways to Reduce Dust-Mite Exposure
Dust mites commonly collect in bedding, pillows, curtains and soft furnishings. Small household changes may help reduce exposure alongside medical guidance.
Wash bedding regularly
Follow your doctor’s recommended washing routine and dry bedding thoroughly.
Use damp cleaning
Avoid scattering dust into the air with dry dusting wherever practical.
Reduce bedroom dust collection
Pay attention to bedding, heavy curtains, carpets and other dust-holding fabrics.
Follow personalised advice
Preparation and treatment instructions should be based on your clinical assessment.

Frequently Asked Questions About Skin Prick Allergy Testing
These answers provide general information. Your doctor will advise you according to your symptoms, medicines and medical history.
The test involves light pricks on the surface of the skin. Most patients describe it as mildly uncomfortable rather than painful, and the testing process is completed within minutes.
Yes. Skin prick testing is commonly performed for children. The doctor will advise whether the test is suitable based on the child’s age, symptoms and medical history.
Antihistamines can affect skin prick test results. When you book, our team will guide you on which medicines may need to be paused and for how long. Do not stop regular medication without medical guidance.
The reactions are generally assessed within approximately 15–20 minutes. Allow additional time for registration, clinical assessment and discussion of your results.
Depending on the selected panel, testing may assess reactions to common triggers such as house dust mites, pollen, pet dander and selected foods.
Dr. Karandeep Singh will explain the results and discuss an appropriate management plan. This may include allergen avoidance, lifestyle measures, medicines or longer-term options such as immunotherapy where clinically relevant.
Immunotherapy is a structured, longer-term treatment intended to gradually reduce sensitivity to specific confirmed allergens. It may be given as drops, tablets or injections depending on the clinical situation. It is not suitable for everyone and requires consultation and ongoing medical supervision.
No. Allergic rhinitis involves inflammation caused by an immune reaction to allergens. Sinusitis involves inflammation or blockage of the sinus pathways. DNS is a structural deviation of the wall separating the nostrils. Some patients may have more than one of these conditions at the same time.
Medicines may reduce allergy-related swelling and inflammation, but they cannot physically straighten a deviated nasal septum. Persistent structural blockage requires a separate ENT assessment.
An ENT procedure may be discussed when significant nasal blockage, breathing difficulty, recurrent sinus symptoms or headaches continue despite appropriate medical management, and examination confirms a structural or persistent sinus problem.
