Contact Dermatitis FAQ
What is patch testing?
Small amounts of common allergens are taped to your back and checked over several days to find what you react to.
Can I do patch testing on a short trip?
It needs several visits over about four days; message us with your dates to plan it.
Will the rash come back?
Only if you are exposed again, which is why finding the cause matters.
