Understanding irritant napkin dermatitis.

Irritant napkin dermatitis (IND, often referred to as irritant diaper dermatitis) is an exceedingly common problem in the first 2 years of life. It is now established that a number of factors are considered important in the etiology of IND. The principal irritants are fecal enzymes, which damage infant skin and are further amplified by a number of factors, including skin maceration and friction, high pH, the presence of urine, and the duration of contact with feces. In recent years, the decreasing incidence and severity of IND reflects improvements in the design and performance of diapers, dia…

Tobacco-induced contact dermatitis.

Tobacco and tobacco smoke are strongly associated with various skin conditions, among which contact dermatitis is of prime importance. The aetiological and clinical aspects vary according to the different tobacco production and processing steps. Contact dermatitis is frequent in tobacco harvesters, curers and cigar makers, whereas it rarely affects smokers and, only exceptionally, cigarette packaging workers. The skin sites involved also vary, according to whether the exposure is occupational or non-occupational. Tobacco contact irritation is far more frequent than contact allergy. The sensiti…

Clinicians Discuss Diaper Dermatitis.

Diaper dermatitis in infants is commonly seen by clinicians in both primary care and acute care settings. The condition can cause significant discomfort for infants and distress for their parents and caregivers. Nursing for Women's Health convened a group of nursing clinicians who work in a variety of settings to discuss the issues and challenges related to preventing and treating diaper dermatitis in both healthy term newborns and premature newborns.

Religious Allergic Contact Dermatitis.

Henna, derived from a combination of natural leaves and coloring additives, is a common decorative dye traditionally used in many Islamic religious celebrations. Para-phenylenediamine (PPD), a major component of black henna tattoo, is a strong sensitizer and common allergen. We report a case of severe connubial allergic contact dermatitis after black henna heterotransfer in a girl.

Shoe allergic contact dermatitis.

Foot dermatitis is a widespread condition, affecting men and women of all ages. Because of the location, this condition may present as a debilitating problem to those who have it. Allergic contact dermatitis involving the feet is frequently due to shoes or socks. The allergens that cause shoe dermatitis can be found in any constituent of footwear, including rubber, adhesives, leather, dyes, metals, and medicaments. The goal of treatment is to identify and minimize contact with the offending allergen(s). The lack of product information released from shoe manufacturers and the continually changi…

Efavirenz-induced exfoliative dermatitis.

Individuals with a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection are at higher risk of developing adverse drug reactions. Multiple drugs are usually prescribed to patients with HIV infection for preventing the replication of HIV and for the treatment of the associated opportunistic infections. We report here the first case of an HIV-1-infected patient who developed an exfoliative dermatitis induced by efavirenz, a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor. Physicians should be aware of the possible occurrence of efavirenz-induced skin eruptions from the start of antiviral treatment of HIV …

Глава 20: Атомный дерматит.

Атема дерматит (AD), известная также как атомная экзема, представляет собой хроническое воспроизводящееся дерматоз, характеризующийся пруритом, ксерозом и тесным связующим зрением с IgE-стимулированием аэроаллергенов и продуктов питания. Более 60 процентов детей, страдающих АД, подвержены риску развития аллергического ринита или астмы (темный марш). Распределение повреждений варьируется в зависимости от возраста. Младенцы, как правило, имеют повреждения на щеках и скальпе, а очень маленькие дети, как правило, имеют отношение к щекам, лбу и шее. В области подгузников у младенцев редко бывает АД

Atopic dermatitis (AD), also known as atopic eczema, is a chronic relapsing inflammatory dermatosis characterized by pruritus, xerosis, and a close association with IgE-mediated sensitization to aeroallergens and foods. More than 60% of children with AD are at risk to develop allergic rhinitis or asthma (the atopic march). The distribution of lesions varies …

[Tefillin-related contact dermatitis].

We describe a 14 year-old male with a background of atopic dermatitis who developed a contact dermatitis reaction on the left arm to the leather straps of tefillin (phylacteries), a religious article worn by observant Jewish men from the age 13 years during most morning prayer services. Patch testing revealed contact allergy to potassium dichromate, a chemical involved in leather tanning. Placing the leather straps over clothing and later switching to potassium dichromate-free leather straps resolved the condition. It is important to recognize this uncommon phenomena in a population in which a…

Childhood granulomatous periorificial dermatitis.

Childhood granulomatous periorificial dermatitis (CGPD), also known as facial Afro-Caribbean childhood eruption (FACE), is a distinctive granulomatous form of perioral dermatitis. It is a condition of unknown etiology, characterized by monomorphous, small, papular eruptions around the mouth, nose and eyes that histopathologically show a granulomatous pattern. It affects prepubescent children of both sexes and typically persists for several months but resolved without scarring. We report a 9 year-old girl with multiple, discrete, monomorphic, papular eruptions of 2-months duration on the perior…

Eyeglass allergic contact dermatitis.

Allergic contact dermatitis is a common problem. The distribution of the eruption with which a patient presents is the key to identifying the offending agent. The ability to quickly recognize characteristic presentations of common allergens is valuable. We present a case of red plaques on the face. The distribution of these plaques pointed clearly to eyeglasses as the cause. Eyeglass frames are manufactured from various materials that have the potential to act as allergens.

Idiopathic lymphoplasmacellular mucositis-dermatitis.

BACKGROUND: In 1952, Zoon described a series of patients with dense plasma-cell infiltrates in the glans penis. Since then, similar Zoon-lik … esults of this analysis, we suggest that the generic term idiopathic lymphoplasmacellular mucositis-dermatitis be considered to encompass the lymphoplasmacellular infiltrates in the skin and mucosal surfaces considered herein. This designation is morphologically descriptive and can be applied regardless of anatomic location.

[Cerium-induced granulomatous dermatitis].

BACKGROUND: The presence of inorganic foreign bodies in granulomatous cutaneous lesions is not infrequent. In this paper, we describe the first case of cerium-induced cutaneous granulomatous dermatitis. CASE REPORT: A 57-year-old woman seriously burned four years ago presented with papulonodular lesions affecting only the burned areas treated with topical cerium nitrate-silver sulfadiazine cream (Flammacérium). Biopsies revealed sarcoidal granuloma associated with exogenous particles. Electron probe X-ray microanalysis demonstrated a high cerium content. Screening for systemic sarcoidosis was…

Hand dermatitis: uncommon presentations.

Hand dermatitis is a common diagnosis seen in dermatologic and general practice. It can present with typical morphology, but uncommon manifestations are possible. This review reports on common and uncommon presentations of irritant and allergic hand dermatitis focusing on uncommon localizations, time course, and morphology such as follicular, pustular, bullous, ulcerous, exudative erythema multiforme-like, purpuric, lichenoid, pigmented, and depigmented skin lesions. Clinical diagnosis can be challenging. Even histopathology is not always very helpful. Thorough evaluation of the patient's hist…
