Contact Dermatitis Information


This site is for academic purposes and is provided to aid collaboration in the field of contact dermatology. We are not able to provide personal consultations, medical advice or deal with personal skin problems. What we are making available here are some patient information sheets that have been developed in the Department of Dermatology and successfully used in the Contact Dermatitis Clinic at the University Hospital of Wales, Cardiff.

The information given is for guidance only and as far as we are aware it is correct. However, Patch Testing and Contact Dermatitis are constantly changing and efforts should be made to cross reference clinically important data where necessary. The authors are not responsible for any problems arising from any erroneous information given. If you become aware of any new developments that we should know about, please inform us.
