At our dermatology office, we understand the importance of pinpointing potential allergens and irritants that may be triggering skin reactions. That’s why we offer comprehensive patch testing and allergy testing services to help our patients achieve healthier, happier skin.

Patch Testing:

Patch testing is a specialized procedure used to identify substances that may be causing allergic contact dermatitis. This type of dermatitis occurs when the skin comes into contact with an allergen, resulting in redness, itching, swelling, or other reactions.

During patch testing, small amounts of common allergens are applied to adhesive patches, which are then placed on the skin, usually on the back. The patches are worn for a specified period, typically 48 hours, during which time the skin’s reaction to the allergens is monitored.

After the testing period, our dermatologists will evaluate the skin’s response to determine which substances may be triggering allergic reactions. This information is invaluable in helping patients identify and avoid allergens in their environment, leading to improved skin health and quality of life.

Allergy Testing:

In addition to patch testing, we also offer allergy testing to identify potential allergens that may be contributing to skin conditions such as eczema, hives, or allergic reactions. Allergy testing may involves a blood test to assess the body’s immune response to specific allergens.

By identifying allergens that may be contributing to skin problems, we can develop personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s unique needs. This may include allergen avoidance strategies, prescription medications, or other interventions to manage symptoms and improve skin health.
