Allergy Patch Test
Allergy Patch Test
An allergy patch test is a diagnostic tool used by dermatologists and allergists to identify substances that may cause contact dermatitis, a form of skin inflammation triggered by direct contact with allergens or irritants. Unlike other allergy tests that check for immediate allergic.
Patch testing is especially useful for individuals experiencing chronic or unexplained skin rashes, particularly those that appear in specific areas like the hands, face, or eyelids. A positive result appears as a red, raised, itchy, or blistered area at the site of the allergen, indicating sensitivity to that particular substance. Identifying the offending allergen allows patients to make informed decisions about the products they use and avoid exposure to triggers. Although the test is generally safe, mild irritation or itching at the test site is common, and occasionally.
