Patch Testing: Gold standard for contact allergen identification. Small amounts of suspected allergens are applied to the skin under patches and observed for reactions over 48-96 hours.
Prick Testing: Quick test for IgE-mediated allergies. Small amounts of allergen are pricked into the skin to observe immediate reactions.
