Antigen Skin prick test for allergies is done to find out what substances you are allergic to.
However if you are from India and plan to settle here it will not be very helpful. There are many allergens eg dust/pollen/pollution gases etc., that you would not be able to avoid. In addition exposure to these allergens on the skin prick test will heighten your allergic response on subsequent exposures.
