Anybody has tried self patch testing for food and chemicals?

A MyEczemaTeam Member asked a question 💭
Quebec, QC

Anybody has tried self patch testing for food and chemicals? I am curious to see if it works, worth doing, or totally useless. I am on a waiting list for more allergy tests but it may takes months before I get to do it.

Hey @A MyEczemaTeam Member - patch testings are 50/50. There are so many variables that play a part in getting accurate results. I would work closely with a registered dietitian or someone that is an expert in this.
