Rise Up! asked:


My doctor told me that I should have an allergy test done. I have had a friend have an allergy test done and she had a bunch of bumps on her arm. My doctor said it was just a simple blood test. Has the test changed? What should I expect? Is it painful?

      Usually it unvolves a series of pin pricks that get introduced to different things you might be allergic to, that’s why you get the bumps.
