Patch Testing Clinic

---

Located at our CU Dermatology Aurora Clinic south of the Anschutz Medical Campus on Alameda Avenue, this unique sub-specialty clinic is led by doctors who are experienced and leaders in the field of contact dermatitis.  ​​​We receive referrals from hundreds of miles away due to our expertise in patch testing and contact dermatitis.

​​​Patch testing helps to determine if patients have allergies to things that touch their skin, such as ingredients in skin care products, botanicals, fabrics, metals, sunscreens, and other chemicals.  ​​​​These ingredients may be found in patients’ skin care products or in materials they are exposed to at home, at work, or when they participate in their favorite hobbies.

​​​We are able to test for hundreds of contact allergens and customize each patient’s patch tests based on their likely exposures and personal skin care products.  ​​​In addition to identifying contact allergies and providing a list of products to avoid, we also provide customized lists of skin products that are safe to use.  ​​​Regardless of the patch testing results, we will make recommendations for optimizing our patients’ skin care and treatment plans.
