Patch Testing
There are over 2000 skin disorders that could happen to us in our day to day life. Most of us do not care about rightly identifying the reason for skin disease by consulting a dermatologist, but just finds a cream/lotion available in the local market and use it for the irritation. What if the disease withdraws for the time being and comes back with a higher strength and impact on skin. Yes, it’s time to think about consulting with a physician or dermatologist to diagnose the skin disease first.
At Dr Thaj Laser Skin-Hair clinic, we offer patch testing to find out the causes of skin allergies or skin disorders. To find out the causes of allergic contact dermatitis, a simple set of common allergens and chemicals that create allergies are applied back to the patient that results in permanent solution for dermatitis in most of the cases.
