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.

Oklahoma Covid-19 Vaccination Phases

The first doses of the Covid-19 vaccine arrived on December 14th and are being reserved for priority groups, starting with frontline health care professionals who are working day and night to keep Oklahomans safe. View the state vaccine distribution plan.

Check with your local county health department concerning vaccine clinics and sign ups.

This is part of the solution, but not the only way to stop the COVID-19 pandemic. Everyone should continue to wear a mask, wash your hands and watch your distance as we receive more shipments of the vaccine and distribute them across the state.
