Patch testing is a diagnostic procedure used to identify substances causing allergic contact dermatitis. It helps pinpoint the ingredient, chemical, or metal triggering skin inflammation or rashes.

At Treiber Dermatology Associates, we perform comprehensive patch testing using standardized panels of potential allergens. Adhesive patches are applied to your back and removed after several days to identify delayed allergic reactions.

Once results are reviewed, we provide a tailored avoidance plan and guidance on safe products.
