A person receiving a skin prick allergy test
A person receiving a skin prick test (SPT). An SPT is performed by using a needle to place a tiny amount of liquid allergen just under the skin of the forearm. SPTs are safe and the results, a raised bump with redness around it (called a wheal and flare), usually appear within 30 minutes

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of precision and expertise in the field of healthcare. In this horizontal, color image, an unrecognizable person is seen receiving a skin prick allergy test (SPT). The SPT involves using a needle to place a minuscule amount of liquid allergen just under the skin of the forearm. This safe procedure allows health professionals to accurately diagnose allergies by observing the appearance of a raised bump with redness around it, known as a wheal and flare reaction. The purple hues in the image add depth and intensity to the scene, highlighting the importance of immune deficiency screening and diagnosis. The protective clothing worn by both the patient and medical personnel emphasizes their commitment to safety during this process. Human hands clad in surgical gloves delicately handle the necessary instruments for this test, showcasing their skillful execution. The focus on one person's arm being punctured with precision reflects not only accuracy but also empathy towards patients seeking answers about their allergic reactions. Taken indoors, this photograph symbolizes trust between healthcare providers and patients while emphasizing that even seemingly small procedures can have significant impacts on individuals' well-being. By capturing this moment from Stocktrek Images without mentioning commercial use or any specific company affiliation, National Institutes of Health reminds us all about the importance of accurate testing methods in providing effective treatment options for those suffering from allergies.
