About a contact dermatitis consultation
Contact dermatitis develops when skin reacts to an irritant or allergen. Good management begins with the exposure story—work, hobbies, washing, cosmetics, jewellery and products used on the affected area.
Care pathway: Managed with trigger avoidance, emollient care and appropriate topical treatment. Refer if persistent, severe, occupationally significant or when the responsible allergen cannot be identified.
What happens at your appointment?
History
We map when the concern began, how it has changed, associated symptoms, triggers and treatments already tried.
Skin assessment
The presentation, distribution and relevant health factors are reviewed, including whether the diagnosis remains uncertain.
Right pathway
You leave with a clear primary-care plan, safety-net advice or onward referral when specialist assessment is more appropriate.
- Timing, body site and relationship to work, wet work, products, gloves, metals or plants.
- Skin-barrier routine, trigger avoidance, topical treatment and improvement away from exposure.
- Persistent or severe disease, occupational causes and whether specialist patch testing may help.
How much does a contact dermatitis consultation cost?
The consultation fee is confirmed when you arrange your appointment, before you commit. If the pharmacist recommends treatment or onward care, any costs are explained before you decide.
Good to know before you book
- Irritant and allergic contact dermatitis can look similar but have different exposure patterns.
- Frequent hand washing and wet work are common contributors to irritant dermatitis.
- Patch testing is a specialist investigation and is different from immediate allergy testing.
After your appointment
- Follow the written skin-care or medicine guidance agreed during the consultation.
- Know which changes mean you should seek earlier clinical review.
- Persistent, worsening or uncertain symptoms are escalated to the appropriate service.
