Skin Allergies and Contact Dermatitis Clinic
Director: David Peng, MD
Many patients suffer from allergic skin diseases. These diseases often go years without diagnosis. The Stanford Contact Dermatitis clinic offers a full spectrum of patch testing in order to determine what contactants our patients are allergic to. We are able to specialize the patch testing based on individual hobbies, occupations and practices. In so doing we offer the patients the opportunities to discover and avoid those items that may be causing their rash.
Allergies include:
Nickel and metal products
Fragrances
Preservatives
Rubber products
Hair Dyes
Plants
Skin Care Products
