Identify & Treat Allergic Contact Dermatitis at The Skin Clinic by Dr. Khilji Faisal Arif
Are you struggling with itchy rashes, red patches, or unexplained skin irritation? You could be suffering from allergic contact dermatitis, one of the most common skin allergy conditions. At The Skin Clinic by Dr. Khilji Faisal Arif, we offer advanced patch testing, diagnosis, and personalized skin allergy
treatment in Karachi, helping you manage symptoms and improve your skin’s health.
What Is Allergic Contact Dermatitis?
Allergic contact dermatitis is a chronic skin condition that occurs when your immune system reacts to specific allergens or chemicals in your environment. These reactions can result in redness, itching, swelling, and rashes that appear in areas where your skin has come into contact with an irritant.
Common allergens that may trigger allergic reactions include:
- Nickel (commonly found in jewelry)
- Fragrances in personal care products
- Preservatives in skincare or cosmetics
- Latex, dyes, or cleaning agents
- Environmental allergens like pollen or dust
What makes this condition particularly challenging is that the reaction may develop after repeated or long-term exposure, even to products you’ve used for years.
How Can I Tell if I Have a Skin Allergy?
Many people confuse allergic contact dermatitis with eczema, psoriasis, or other rashes. The best way to know for sure is to consult a qualified dermatologist in Karachi who specializes in diagnosing skin allergies through clinical examination and allergy testing.
At Dr. Khilji Faisal Arif’s Skin Clinic, we use patch testing—a safe and effective diagnostic tool—to help pinpoint the specific allergen responsible for your skin reaction.

What Is Patch Testing and How Does It Work?
Patch testing involves applying small amounts of common allergens to your skin, usually on the back, using hypoallergenic patches. The skin is then observed for any allergic reactions over 48–72 hours.
Patch testing:
- It is non-invasive and safe
- Identifies delayed allergic reactions
- Does not involve injections or needles
- Helps determine which products or substances to avoid
If you experience redness or minor bumps at the patch site, it means your body is reacting to a specific allergen. Dr. Khilji interprets these results to guide your customized treatment plan.

While skin allergies can’t always be cured, they can be effectively managed through:
- Trigger identification via patch testing
