Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I have to stop my antihistamines before I come in for testing?

In order to have an accurate skin test individuals must be off antihistamines for a period of time (see Requirements for Preparation for Skin Testing)

Do I need to withhold my asthma medicine on the morning of my visit?

No, unless directed by your OAAC physician.

I need an appointment for a chronic skin problem that I have had for a long time.

The OAAC is an allergy clinic that specializes in the diagnose of allergic diseases.

Often, chronic skin rashes are not caused by an allergy and therefore are best evaluated first by a skin specialist or dermatologist. If your dermatologist is concerned about a potential allergic trigger to your rash, a request can then be made for allergy testing if needed.

I have hives and I want to come in to find the exact cause of my swellings. Can you help?

Chronic hives, or urticarial, is a common skin disorder that can be very bothersome due to the severe itching. However, chronic hives are rarely caused by an allergy. Therefore, allergy testing is typically not needed, but we can assist you by diagnosing your hives and coming up with a treatment plan that can help control your rash and itching.

How to properly fit a face mask

DUE TO SUPPLY CHAIN ISSUES, YOU MUST BRING YOUR OWN CLOTH or MEDICAL MASK. OAAC will not be able to provide a mask for you.

Our providers and co-workers do have the necessary PPE to wear for the protection of our patients.

You could spread COVID-19 to others even if you do not feel sick.

Everyone should wear a cloth face cover when they have to go out in public, for example to the grocery store or for other necessities.

» Cloth face coverings should not be placed on young children under age 2, anyone who has trouble breathing, or is unconscious, incapacitated or otherwise unable to remove the mask without assistance.

The cloth face cover is meant to protect other people in case you are infected.

• Do NOT use a facemask meant for a healthcare worker.

• Continue to keep about 6 feet between yourself and others. The cloth face cover is not a substitute for social distancing
