At the end of this session, participants will be able to:
- Recognize most common contact allergens that can affect different body regions.
- List mimickers of contact dermatitis in different body regions.
- Describe the patch testing procedure in adults and children.
- Understand the pathophysiology of allergic contact dermatitis.
