Abstract
Patch testing is as much art as it is science; we all are influenced by our clinical experience as well as by the literature. In an effort to assist those new to this often underutilized technique, we have solicited comments from five experienced clinicians about when to patch test and when not to patch test. Their responses should be a guide for us all.
