Allergic Contact Dermatitis

Allergic contact dermatitis can be due to a plethora of causes, from household items to occupational exposure. If you are experiencing site-specific and intermittent or unrelenting rashes, our Dermatologists will thoroughly assess your history and nature of your rash. Dermatologists qualify with in-depth knowledge of skin allergens both common and rare.

We may undertake Allergy Patch Testing of your skin, encompassing the most common allergens in Australia and other allergens guided by your Dermatologist. We may procure testing kits specific to your occupation, including nursing, hairdressing, construction and cosmetics. There are also testing kits specific to your type of dermatitis, for example lip dermatitis, facial dermatitis or dermatitis affecting the feet.
