Patch Testing Results and Your “Safe List” of Personal Care Products

▪       Allergens are substances your skin developed an allergic reaction to during Allergy Patch Testing.

▪       These positive reactions have been entered by Vital Dermatology into the American Contact Dermatitis Society - Contact Allergen Management Program database (also known as “ACDS – CAMP”).

▪       CAMP is a database provided designed to help patients with allergic contact dermatitis find personal care products that are free of the ingredients that are causing their allergic reactions. Each list generated is personalized for the patient. The products illustrated on these patient safe lists are safe for the patient to use. However, the patient must use the exact products as listed on the safe list. Products which are the same brand and have a similar name as a product on the list may NOT be safe to use if it is not on the list.

▪       Manufacturers may change their ingredient lists causing product information to become outdated. In addition, a retailer may carry an older version of the product, causing the ingredient list to be different from the information on this list. 

▪       *Patients should review the ingredients listed on a product prior to use, and always confirm it does not contain any of their allergens.
