About

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about accuracy of teledermatology in patch test interpretation in patch test's patients population. The main question[s] it aims to answer are:

• Accuracy of teledermatology in patch test interpretation by dermatologist
• Accuracy of teledermatology in patch test interpretation by Residency
• Accuracy of teledermatology in patch test interpretation by Scitentist
• The factors influencing the interpretation of remote dermatologic patch test results from photographs of patients.

Participants will

• do patch test in Siriraj hospital and come to follow up at 48 hr and 72 hr for interpretation of patch test
• take a photo at home and sent the photo to contact clinic via online application or email on the day of 48 hr, 72 hr and 7 days following the interpretation of patch test

Researchers will compare in-clinic group and telephoto group to see if the accuracy of patch test interpretation is more or less.
