What will the skin test be like for my child

From ShortGut - Wiki

The waiting period to read the test results can be harder than the skin pricks themselves.

The pricks don't seem to be terribly painful, and can generally be delivered quickly and efficiently. Providing good distractions for your child can make a big difference. MaxMunakata received two sets of allergy skin tests within a few months. The first one (at a regular allergist) involved no distractions, and was much worse than the second one (at a Children's Hospital), where a staff member with a suitcase full of unusual toys distracted Max through the entire prick procedure, pulling out one exciting toy after another.

After the pricks are delivered, you need to wait ~15 minutes before they can be read. The pricked area cannot be touched during this time. This can be the hardest part, because it becomes very hard to comfort your child (e.g., if the entire back cannot be touched), and your child will want to scratch where it itches. Sitting on Dad's shoulders worked well for MaxMunakata -- he was happy up there while Dad walked around, his back could be kept exposed, and his hands were busy holding onto Dad's head.
