A complete allergy assessment at Pulmovista Clinics — including history, skin prick testing, spirometry, and FeNO — typically takes 90–120 minutes in total. The skin prick test itself is not painful in the way a conventional injection is — the lancet creates a very superficial prick, similar in sensation to a firm press with a fingernail. The test results are readable within 20 minutes. Patients may experience local itching at positive test sites — this is the expected immune response and resolves within an hour. Severe allergic reactions to the SPT are extremely rare and are managed immediately if they occur at Pulmovista.
