WHAT IS THE DURATION OF A SKIN ALLERGY?
PATCH TESTING FOR SKIN ALLERGY
Patch testing stands as a powerful tool for skin allergy diagnosis, as it effectively determines particular substances instigating allergic reactions. This is achieved by applying minute quantities of possible allergens on the skin, then tracking the response over several days. This enables health practitioners to accurately identify the root causes of dermatitis or other allergy-induced conditions. Offering an approach that is both targeted and personalised, gives patients the ability to evade known allergens and better manage their symptoms. Not to mention, the patch testing procedure is non-invasive and boasts a high accuracy rate, making it an unparalleled technique for elevating the quality of life for those dealing with ongoing skin allergies.
