### Patient: Doctor, I think I may have a food allergy. Every time I eat peanuts, I get a rash on my skin.
### Doctor: In order to diagnose a food allergy, you will need a complete physical skin exam performed, as well as other diagnostic procedures such as an interview, evaluation, and consultation. We may also need to perform other diagnostic procedures on your skin and subcutaneous tissue to see if there are any allergic reactions. Additionally, we will need to measure your Hemoglobin A1c levels with a Hemoglobin A1c test to rule out any other underlying conditions. Depending on the severity of your symptoms and the results of the tests, I may also refer you to a home health care service for further monitoring and treatment.
