Allergies Patch Testing If you have a recurring rash or breakout of eczema in certain areas and your doctor suspects that it is being caused by a specific allergen, your doctor may recommend an allergy patch test. Not to be confused with the skin prick test, which is usually performed by an Allergist, the skin patch test is used only to diagnose a contact allergy, which is an inflammation of the skin cause by direct contact with an irritating substance. The allergic reaction can often be caused by chemicals found in cosmetics or nail polish, or by a natural substance such as nickel, commonly found in jewelry and belt buckles. If you are meeting with your physician to discuss your allergies for the first time, sometimes it is helpful to bring any products that are known to provoke a reaction.
