Neither my daughter nor myself have a positive reaction to dairy on a
skin test.  I've had blood test come back neg, but she's only had prick
tests.  This does not mean that it could not be an allergy/intolerance to
dairy.  I react severely, and it's not a lactose intolerance, it's
definitely the proteins.  My daughter did not have positive reactions to
ANY of the foods we found by elimination.  Cleaning up vomit and putting
cream on eczema was a far better indicator of food intolerances for us.
Only IgE reactions show up on the tests.
