Anybody ever have a 3yo go through "scratch test" allergy testing?How bad was it? The allergist says it's nbd, but I am a little concerned (about my child's discomfort level).
They're going to do it on his back.

I went through it. No discomfort at all.

On second thought, what I went through was a little different. I think a 3-year old would probably cry now that I've researched what you're referring to.

I had it done. Its not that bad just annoying. Tell him to not be scared. But when i had mine done the scratch test didn't give them the results they wanted the did this needle test. The needles were big and scary. They probably didn't hurt that bad I was just so preoccupied by the needle size I thought it was horrible. If your child is scared of needles I'm so sorry. :S


But the scratch test is not bad. Its just super irritating and annoying.

My son was close to 4 and certainly didn't dig it but got through it with flying colors.

4 year old, wasn't bad except they did both arms and ran out of room so they had to do it on his back too.
