Patch testing is a process that detects allergic contact dermatitis, and involves applying patches with testing samples to the back. Using tape, these patches with test substances are left on the back for a small amount of time to see if a dermal reaction occurs. This is a proven process that shows accurate results for many individuals, and the test substances applied are determined by your allergist. The patch test does not test for food allergies but can test for other allergies that cause dermal reactions, such as nickel, fragrances, and preservatives.
The length of time for the patch test may vary depending on what allergens you are getting patch tested for. Because dermal allergic reactions can take some time to show up on the skin, patch testing can involve multiple visits to the clinic for a week, to apply the patches, and then test for the reactions. When you come into Piniella Asthma and Allergy for your appointment, we can provide you with detailed information on test timing.
