In addition to examining your skin, your healthcare provider will ask about your symptoms and medical history. Let your provider know if you have had any latex reactions and if you have any other allergy symptoms. Other causes of your symptoms will also be ruled out by your provider.   It is possible to determine whether your skin reacts to latex protein by taking a skin test. A small amount of latex is injected beneath the surface of the skin on your forearm or back using a tiny needle. If you develop a raised bump if you are allergic to latex. This test should only be performed by an allergist or other provider with experience in skin testing. Latex sensitivity can also be tested through blood tests.   Latex allergy testing and treatment are available at Allergy and Asthma Care of Rockland, P.C.
