What are Allergy Tests?
Allergy tests are essential diagnostic tools used by dermatologists to discover exactly what is causing your skin to break out in uncomfortable rashes or irritation. When your skin comes into contact with everyday items like fragrances, jewelry metals, or cosmetic preservatives, it can sometimes trigger a harsh allergic reaction.
At Kigali Dermatology Center, we use specialized, highly accurate testing methods to pinpoint these hidden triggers. This takes the guesswork out of your daily routine and allows us to create a clear strategy to keep your skin calm and healthy.
How do Allergy Tests work?
The most common method we use to investigate skin allergies is called patch testing. During this completely safe and needle-free procedure, small amounts of common potential allergens are applied to medical patches. These patches are then gently taped to your back. You will wear them for a couple of days while going about your normal, daily activities.
When you return to the clinic, our board-certified dermatologists carefully remove the patches and examine your skin to see if any specific substances caused a reaction. Based on these precise results, we provide you with a customized list of ingredients to avoid and recommend safe alternatives.
