What is Contact Dermatitis?

Contact dermatitis is a rash caused by something touching the skin, either an irritant or an allergen such as nickel, fragrance, hair dye or preservatives. At Louave in Cheongdam, Gangnam, Seoul, dermatologists treat the rash and use patch testing to find the cause, so it can be avoided.

Questions & Answers

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.
