The Contact and Occupational Dermatitis Center
The Contact and Occupational Dermatitis Center (CODC) is dedicated to determining the cause of persistent dermatitis, or eczema. This disorder typically manifests as an itchy rash that does not go away with simple treatments. Research has shown that many of these rashes are due to substances that come into contact with the skin (contact dermatitis). When the patient comes into contact with a substance at work that is causing a rash, this is called occupational contact dermatitis.

The CODC has a comprehensive panel of substances with which patients are tested to determine if one of the substances is the cause of their rash. If a cause can be found, specific recommendations can be made for avoiding the substance. The testing is typically performed over three office visits that occur over a one-week period.
