Abstract
Infection and allergic contact dermatitis may be encountered in postoperative and chronic wounds. Since symptoms overlap, differentiating these complications in real time could help guide management. We propose applying potentially allergenic wound care agents to an area of healthy skin while managing postoperative and chronic wounds. This method can help identify allergic contact dermatitis rapidly, thereby reducing misdiagnosis and improving patient care.
