The patient information leaflets have been compiled by members and to the best of our ability are accurate. We have deliberately avoided suggesting cosmetic and toiletry products that are free from the offending allergen as this changes periodically, often without warning. The best advice is always to check the product labelling but remember that these may not always be as accurate as one would wish.

Also available for use by UK dermatologists is the Patient Information Leafelet on Patch Testing. Departments may download and modify this according to their local requirements. To download click here.
