ACDS CAMP (Contact Allergen Management Program) is a database provided by the American Contact Dermatitis Society (ACDS) which is designed to help patients with allergic contact dermatitis find personal care products that are free of the ingredients that are causing their allergic reactions. Each list generated is personalized for the patient. The list is not exhaustive, but is an excellent starting point for patients to find products that will relieve their allergic reactions. The CAMP app is designed to allow patients to carry their own personalized list of "safe" products on their phone in an easy-to-use and sort format. The CAMP app makes shopping for allergen-free products simple! In order to use the CAMP app, patients must first obtain their individualized "safe" product list and user ID codes from a participating ACDS physician. The CAMP app is designed to access the CAMP database so that the patient’s safe product list is displayed on their phone. The list can then be sorted by product type, brand name or product name. There is also a search function to help search for products using specific criteria. Favorite products can be chosen and displayed. The app also displays a list of specific allergens which the patient needs to avoid.
