What to Expect
During your visit to Altaire Clinic, a medical provider will go over your medical history and your family’s medical history to learn if other family members have been diagnosed with dermatitis. They will also discuss whether you’re currently taking any medication, learn if you have recently changed your diet, or if you may have come into contact with chemicals, changed laundry detergent, dish soap, or made any other changes. Environmental factors, such as pet dander, mold, and pollen can also make symptoms worse.
Identifying and avoiding triggers is important. If allergens are your triggers, allergy testing may be required. If you are diagnosed with dermatitis, a medical provider will create a comprehensive treatment plan that’s designed to help you manage your symptoms.
