    procedures to diagnose allergies or skin conditions

    Skin tests, also known as dermatological tests, are procedures used to diagnose allergies, infections, or other skin conditions. Common types include patch tests, which involve applying allergens to the skin to check for reactions, and prick tests, where small amounts of allergens are introduced into the skin using a needle. These tests help identify specific triggers for allergic reactions or other dermatological issues.
