Diagnosis of cutaneous reactions involves a thorough clinical evaluation, including a detailed history of exposure to potential toxicants. Diagnostic tools may include:
- Patch Testing: To identify specific allergens causing contact dermatitis. - Biopsy: In cases where the diagnosis is uncertain, a skin biopsy may be conducted to examine the affected tissue microscopically. - Blood Tests: These can help rule out systemic causes and evaluate for signs of an allergic reaction.
