Holds hand up I have ... I had them done all over my back. they used what I thought was giving me the problem and some of there own , I had a bout 30 in all.. It was kept on for 5 days I could not shower or get them wet.. In the end one of main things that was causing it was the cream they had given me to stop the inching...

I've had it done on my arm too. The doctor drew a grid then did little pinpricks in each square, added liquid and waited for a reaction.

Karen It doesn't hurt ,I had it done but i also used to carry out the testing in our ENT clinic---just allow half an hour for the test ---it's no problem,if you do itch they should put on some antihistamine cream.
