ALLERGIC CONTACT DERMATITIS SUPPORT

Allergic contact dermatitis is a difficult and often debilitating condition to live with. No one should have to face allergic contact dermatitis by themselves and we must support one another in our efforts. By joining support groups, we can share information with one another and contributing to discussions about patch testing, allergen avoidance, and provider availabilities. In addition, the ability to report your reaction allows contact dermatitis specialists to garner a greater understanding about the incidence and prevalence of allergic contact dermatitis.

Among the patch testing, steroid therapy, and dermatologist appointments, an increasingly important aspect of allergic contact dermatitis is social support. By joining a support group, you can connect with others that have the same allergies. In these groups, users share allergen avoidance strategies, patch testing tips, and generalized questions about allergic contact dermatitis.

Below, you will find a variety of facebook groups that address a broad spectrum of contact allergies. With thousands of members already subscribed, there is a plethora of support available in the form of peer interactions.
