Medical Dermatology
Skin Allergy
Dr. Liew Hui Min
Contact dermatitis is a kind of eczema that occurs when the skin comes into contact with a substance that you are allergic to.
The reaction is usually delayed and chronic. This is different from food allergy.
Contact dermatitis reaction is usually triggered by preservatives found in cosmeceutical products, fragrances, metals, clothing dyes, hair dyes, etc.
Our dermatologist, Dr Liew, will explore whether there is a possible trigger and will recommend patch testing to be done. Patch test to the common allergens as well as your own products can be arranged.
You will be required to visit our clinic 3 times in a week.
