What patients should bring to their appointments

Bring everything which is in contact with your damaged skin.

Things you should bring include:

• Products used on your skin (bring it in its original container), even if you don’t think it is causing any problems e.g. moisturisers, hand cleansers etc
• Products specific to the area of skin affected e.g. Gloves if you have hand dermatitis, or shoes and socks if your feet are affected.
• Work samples – either bring them in their original container if not too big, or put a small sample amount into individual screw top glass containers and label well.
• Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for all products and chemicals you come into contact with in the workplace. You should be able to get these from your OHS representative, union official, supervisor or employer. It is compulsory for the workplace to provide these.

These products should be brought with you to all 3 appointments.
