As India undergoes rapid urbanization and lifestyle changes, there has been a noticeable increase in allergic conditions such as asthma, allergic rhinitis, and atopic dermatitis.
In patch testing, small patches or chambers containing various allergens or substances suspected to cause allergic contact dermatitis are applied to the patient's skin. These patches typically contain common allergens such as metals (e.g., nickel),
fragrances,
preservatives,
latex,
certain medications, and
chemicals found in everyday products like cosmetics, soaps, and skincare products.
The specific allergens included in the patch test are chosen based on the patient's medical history, symptoms, and suspected triggers.
Without allergen testing, there's a risk of misdiagnosis, persistent symptoms, complications, reduced quality of life, and unnecessary healthcare costs.
