Allergy & Patch Test
Allergy and Patch Test
Allergies are not random irritations they are immune responses triggered when your body misidentifies harmless substances as threats. Constant itching, rashes, sneezing, watery eyes, recurrent dermatitis, or unexplained flare ups are your skin's way of saying: "Something is triggering me find it." At Allodermis, we use clinical grade Skin Patch Testing, Skin Prick Testing & Immuno IgE Blood analysis to precisely identify your triggers and create a personalised allergy managem
