Will an allergy scratch test for contact dermatitis effect my silicone implants?

Asked By:Cute440533 in New York, New York

So..I’m seeing a allergist regarding some contact dermatitis and rashes. (Not associated with silicone implants). It’s likely environmental. He says he plans to move forward with an allergy “scratch” test. Does this effect my silicone implants ? Meaning I’ll have a systematic reaction? I didn’t disclose to the allergist I have had breast augmentation. (As I don’t believe there’s a correlation, it’s a personal matter & haven’t built repor) I assume it won’t trigger a response ? Thank you!
