CAMP Basics
The American Contact Dermatitis Society is committed to advancing the care and understanding of dermatitis and allergy. As part of this commitment, ACDS created the Contact Allergen Management Program (CAMP), a web-based resource designed to help patients manage allergic contact dermatitis and find personal care products that are safe for them to use. CAMP includes the following:
- Free access for ACDS members and their patients
- Ability to offer personalized medicine by generating safe lists based on patch testing results
- Access to patient safe lists on the go through the CAMP mobile apps (available on iPhone and Android devices)
- Access to educational resources to assist in patient counseling
- Ability to scan product information for instant feedback on product safeness
With the release of CAMP 2.0, comes more products and an increased level of transparency. All products will be available for your viewing including a specific label destinating the products as "Safe" or "Not Safe". Additionally, red and green product ingredients help identify which ingredients are safe or unsafe within a product listing based on a patient's allergens.
Although we strive to keep product information up to date, manufacturers may change their ingredient lists causing product information to become outdated. In addition, retailers may carry an older version of the product on their shelves, causing the ingredient list to be different from the information on this list. For this reason, you should always review the ingredients listed on a product prior to use and confirm it does not contain any of your allergens.
Please note: CAMP staff is able to assist you with technical questions related to the CAMP app. If you have questions related to your medical condition and/or health, please contact your medical provider.
