Discuss these and any other meds that you may be currently taking with your doctor. If you have an allergic reaction from any of the skin tests, you may have some itching, tenderness, and swelling where the allergen solutions were placed on the skin. After the testing is done, cool cloths or a nonprescription steroid cream can be used to relieve the itching and swelling. If you are having a skin patch test and you have severe itching or pain under any of the patches, remove the patches and call your health professional. You usually shouldn't expect any issues other than what I've noted above. I hope you're not allergic to too many things.<br><b>References : </b><br> You may need to stop taking some medicines, such as some tricyclic antidepressants and antihistamines such as cetirizine (Zyrtec), fexofenadine (Allegra), and loratadine (Claritin) before you have an allergy skin test.
