When to see a doctor if you experience a reaction to your patch test?Updated a year ago
If you do experience a reaction to your patch test, stop the patch testing process and forego using the product altogether. Once you stop, the reaction will likely resolve on its own within a few days. If it doesn’t, speak to your doctor about potential treatment.
It’s uncommon to have respiratory reactions to skin allergies, but if you experience a fever, trouble breathing, or throat swelling, seek medical attention immediately.
