A member asked:
I have a mild reaction to the soap my work uses right now. my bro started the same way and it got worse. can a allergy test detect mild reactions?

Yes, patch testing: The most common work related reactions to soaps, creams an lotions is contact dermatitis. This involves itchy scales or blistering reactions that start towards the end of your work day and gradually get worse as the week progresses. A dermatologist or an Allergist that does patch testing would help sort out what chemical in that soap could be causing the problem and which soaps would be safe.

You can't be tested: I would see a dermatologist who does this testing to give you an accurate diagnosis
