Tests for Atopic Dermatitis

What are some recommended tests for causes of AD other than allergy? Is this a gut issue, autoiummune issue, hormonal issue, or something else that can be the cause?

  1. Hi everyone is different in what causes their eczema or what their triggers are so it's difficult to pinpoint one test that might give you that answer. Most are diagnosed after a visual eczema or patch testing. This article helps explain some of the ways eczema can be diagnosed: https://atopicdermatitis.net/understanding-diagnosing and this one talks about the different triggers: https://atopicdermatitis.net/eczema-triggers Best, Sam S.
