The intradermal skin test involves injecting small amounts of extracts of suspected allergens under the skin and observing the skin for subsequent reactions. This is considered the most accurate type of skin test for identifying allergens. Prick, scratch, and patch tests are other types of skin tests that are less invasive but also less accurate.
