For patients, managing allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) can be like a strategic game of poker-many begin with a few chips, but only those who can skillfully read the cards and avoid common pitfalls can maximize their winnings. Physicians should be aware of the challenges patients may face when avoiding allergens as well as long-term avoidance strategies. Herein, we discuss the essential role of contact allergen databases to support patient education and management of ACD. The updated Contact Allergen Management Program (CAMP) 2.0 is a valuable resource to enhance self- and physician-directed guidance and improve quality of life for patients with ACD. We review important new features of CAMP 2.0 and how to utilize product database tools to optimize patient outcomes.
