Patch Testing in Auckland
Patch testing is a technique used to determine whether a particular substance causes
allergic reaction
in patients. A patch test may be considered for a patient with
dermatitis
potentially caused by a substance at the person’s home or office such as preservatives or fragrances in shampoo or sunscreens, hair dye or chemicals such as nickel. A dermatologist undertakes patch testing. Patch testing is used for contact
allergies
and differs from
skin prick testing
as it does not test for hay fever allergies, food allergies or hives.
