DD is 20 months and will be going in for allergy tests for environmental, pet and food allergies. Anyone know what to expect and how they do it with this age?

When we went for food allergies, they did a blood test first… but it came back with so many allergies, we followed up with the scratch test (it doesn’t hurt). They do little skin scratches (on the back for little ones) and see if it turns red.
I’ve had the scratch test done myslef as well and it really doesn’t hurt. It might itch a little but it’s not bad.
