For example, there’s the Viaskin milk patch. A patch-based solution is especially well-suited to patients affected by cows’ milk protein allergy. Those prone to fall prey to this particular condition are mostly babies and young children, who can be difficult to treat using more traditional methods e.g. allergy shots.

The patch, (pictured below) offers a completely painless way of alleviating the symptoms of this allergy by a process of desensitization. It can also be used to provide advance warning of its existence in a young patient. It may be removed at the first glimpse of any severe or potentially distressing symptoms. This means that it is both very safe and considerably less stressful for both children and their parents than other conventional treatments!
