Has anyone had their baby tested for milk allergies?

My daughter just turned 1 and has been on alimentum, a hypo allergenic formula. We tried whole milk and she got a rash around her mouth instantly, then we have had her on soy for about 3 days now and she seems to be getting a light rash on her body.
She currently does have her first diaper rash ever, well i thought it was a diaper rash and the MD said it may be yeast so we are using some rx to clear it up.
I dont know if it is that rash or the soy. I am so sick of guessing so I made an appt with the allergist and I am going to have her tested to just “KNOW” if she has an allergy and then go from there.
Can anyone tell me what to expect? I know its the skin prick test on her back, will this hurt bad? I had a big one done when i was a kid in school, but NOT a baby…
Would love some personal advise or stories..
Thank you

While it wasnt for milk allergies Rayne our oldest had to have an allergy test done at the age of 6 for her black eyes all the time(shes got perma eye circles that are supposed to signal allergies)…She was borderline for a bunch of stuff she is supposed to go back in October for her next test they wanted to wait a year and see…
The pric k test doesnt hurt though its just a bunch of plastic prongs that they dip into things and press onto the skin in different places..Hers wasnt on her back but on her arms and they just did it and we waited about 30 minutes in the office to see what happens….im not sure if its the same for milk but that was how they did the skin pric k test for her for allergies….i find it hilarious that yahoo sensors pric k…lol
Good Luck i hope the test goes well
