BACKGROUND: Dermatitis of surrounding skin may complicate hard-to-heal leg ulcers, delaying wound healing. The coexistence of hard-to-heal leg ulcers and irritant or allergic contact dermatitis may create difficulties for both diagnostic and therapeutic management.
OBJECTIVE: The aim of our study was to evaluate the incidence of dermatitis occurring in the surrounding skin in a population affected by hard-to-heal leg ulcers during treatment, and to differentiate between allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) and irritant contact dermatitis (ICD) with the use of a patch test. Furthermore, we investigated which medications were most probably related to these conditions.
METHOD: We conducted an observational study from 21 February to 21 July 2017, enlisting all patients affected by hard-to-heal leg ulcers who attended the Wound Care Service of the Dermatologic Department of ASST, Spedali Civili, Brescia, Italy.
RESULTS: We enrolled 95 patients; 81 patients did not develop dermatitis, while 14 patients developed dermatitis of the surrounding skin. These patients underwent a patch test which gave a positive result in seven patients, permitting the diagnosis of ACD.
CONCLUSION: Our study confirmed the incidence of dermatitis of the surrounding skin reported in the literature but reassessed the incidence of ACD as opposed to ICD.
