What is allergic contact dermatitis?
This is a skin reaction that occurs when you touch or contact substances that you are allergic to. Your skin can be itchy, cracked, red, sore, and even bleed. The substances that cause this reaction can be an ingredient in your makeup, aftershave, shampoo, jewelry, medication, and clothing. You may also find these substances at work in your cleaning supplies, paper and ink, medicines, disinfectants, construction materials and rubber products.
What is T.R.U.E. TEST?
T.R.U.E. TEST is a reliable, easy to use patch test. It is designed to help your doctor find out whether you are allergic to the substances included on the test panels. The test panels contain 35 different substances known to cause allergic contact dermatitis. T.R.U.E. TEST also includes a negative control that can help your doctor interpret your skin reactions.
