Where Can I Find Patch Testing Near Me for Allergic Contact Dermatitis?

Dr. Noga Askenazi is an allergist professional located in the areas of Elgin and Crystal Lake, Illinois, and provides patients with the diagnosis of certain allergic reactions that can occur on the skin and body. Allergic contact dermatitis is a condition that can cause a rash or itching to develop in an area that has contacted an allergen. However, sometimes patients have no idea what has caused their rash and need answers. With this in mind, our team at Advanced Allergy and Asthma Associates, Inc. provides solutions such as patch testing, which can be used to make a definitive decision regarding the type of allergen that may be causing a reaction in the skin.

What is Patch Testing for Allergies?

Patch testing is a specialized method to identify whether a person is allergic to a particular substance. It involves applying a small amount of the substance to the skin and then watching the area for any noticeable signs of an allergic reaction. These may include symptoms such as swelling, redness, or itching. If a reaction does occur, it usually takes place within 48 hours of applying the allergen. By doing this, Dr. Noga Askenazi can determine the source of the allergic reaction and help patients fully understand their allergens to reduce or eliminate rashes and other reactions that may occur due to triggers.

Is Patch Testing Safe?

Allergy patch testing is generally considered to be safe and effective, but there is a small risk of developing contact dermatitis from the patch itself.
