Study Of An Experimental Micro Needle Patch Test For Skin Allergies

Description

Seeking men and women aged 18 and older who have been referred for skin patch testing of allergens for a study of an experimental micro needle patch test to diagnose skin allergy

Overview

Participants in this study will have the experimental micro needle patch placed on skin that has reacted to an allergen as part of their contact patch allergen testing for about 20 minutes. The experimental micro needle patch feels like the hard side of velcro. Study activities will occur during the standard allergen patch testing appointments and should not take extra time.

What we're hoping for

We are collecting microneedle patch tests from people being patch tested for allergies to better understand how to diagnose and treat allergic contact dermatitis
