What is PATCH TESTING ? Skin allergy test !

I haven't done any official testing but I most definitely have contact allergies to adhesives, plants (especially grasses and weeds), and most metals (I can only use surgical metal for earrings). Then I have oral allergies to pineapple, cilantro, and tree nuts. Not to mention all the medications (that I have been tested for) that give me hives and (I think) minor breathing difficulties.

I got my final results today (72hrs) and I am allgeric to 8 out of 40. No shower for 48hrs and trying avoid sweating too. They put a extra dry medical bandage over the patches and taped it good. I didn't feel the first hrs in but then at evening started to itch a bit and burn a bit but the next day I was itchy alot and burning feeling too so bad. I had to take off the patches at home with help 2hrs before going back to them for the first reading and it was bad at the nurse who put them on had to call the dermatologist in even she was so busy but even she was shocked how bad the reactions were and said we need to calm it down a bit and I asked dosen't this influcene the results, she said I seen enough of it. But wont been suffer any longer to much of this. Then I saw her the next days (72hrs) and she gave me the final results I am allergic to 8 out of 40. 😢 The thing is saw a clinic where they take the patches off themselfs and wait for only 5min to read results that can misleading true to false results due it takes time to show more reactions within two hrs after patches comes off to show more reactions also 24hrs after too those who didn't show up much or none at all just to make sure due such reactions can come in late so 5min after patches go off is not gonna show true results
