Summary: A retrospective analysis of North American Contact Dermatitis Group data from 1994-2016 revealed that patients with eyelid dermatitis were more likely to be female, white, and over 40 years old, with a higher prevalence of hay fever, atopic dermatitis, or both. Allergic contact dermatitis was a common primary diagnosis among these patients.

Summary: This study investigated the association between smoking and contact dermatitis in the Saudi population. The results suggest that the prevalence of allergic contact dermatitis may be lower in smokers compared to non-smokers, while the prevalence of irritant contact dermatitis may be higher. Further epidemiologic studies are needed to explore the role of smoking in the occurrence of contact dermatitis and its possible mechanisms.

Summary: The skin is often exposed to chemical stress, which may result in delayed hypersensitivity reactions mediated by T-cells. Exposure to contact sensitizers disrupts the homeostasis of the skin, triggering an inflammatory immune response and leading to eczema and allergic contact dermatitis. The Nrf2/Keap1 pathway in the skin plays a crucial role in regulating the immune response to contact sensitizers.

Summary: Occupational contact dermatitis often leads to work disruption, but successful return-to-work outcomes can be achieved with good communication, availability of modified work, and worker adherence to the plan. Barriers to successful return-to-work include lack of modified work, unresponsive employers, and ongoing skin problems.

Summary: This study reviewed the literature on vulvar allergic contact dermatitis (vACD) and irritative contact dermatitis (vICD), providing a comprehensive reference list of potential vulvar allergens and irritants, and emphasizing the importance of patch testing for identifying causal allergens. Multiple allergens were identified, but not all positive reactions were relevant to the disease. Additional testing methods and late readings should be considered in standard practice. Limited information was found on irritants, highlighting the need for further research.

Summary: This study investigates the causes and consequences of occupational contact dermatitis (OCD) among workers younger than 35 years. The results show that healthcare workers, kitchen workers, nursery teachers, and hairdressers and beauticians are the most commonly affected occupations. The severity and long-term effects of eczema have significant implications for young workers.

Summary: Hand eczema is a common inflammatory skin disorder. This article aims to update the European Society of Contact Dermatitis guideline on the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of hand eczema. Consensus was reached for several statements and management strategies through analysis of evidence for therapeutic and preventive interventions using a structured method of developing consensus. The updated guideline should improve the management of hand eczema.

Summary: Hairdressers have a high risk of occupational contact dermatitis, with allergic contact dermatitis being the most common cause, followed by irritant contact dermatitis and contact urticaria. Hair dye products, persulfates, and preservatives were identified as the main culprits causing allergic contact dermatitis in hairdressers.

Summary: Material jetting and vat photopolymerization additive manufacturing processes using liquid resins may contain irritants and sensitizers, but product safety data sheets may not disclose all ingredients. Analysis of 39 commercial products identified various irritants and sensitizers, and their quantities and concentrations were influenced by resin system and additive manufacturing process type. This highlights the need for comprehensive product safety data sheets for comprehensive dermal risk assessments.

Summary: This meta-analysis suggests that rituximab may be effective in achieving higher rates of complete remission and delayed first relapse in patients with subepidermal autoimmune blistering diseases. However, there were no significant differences in time to remission and total relapse rates between rituximab-treated patients and those who received conventional medical therapy. Adverse events and mortality rates were not increased in patients treated with rituximab. However, the limitations of this analysis include the absence of randomized controlled trials and the use of rituximab as a late rescue therapy in most cases. Further studies are needed to validate these observational findings.

Summary: This study compared the clinical outcomes of patients with DRESS treated with systemic corticosteroids versus topical corticosteroids in an academic medical center. The results suggest that topical corticosteroids may be a safe and efficacious alternative to systemic corticosteroids in the treatment of mild-to-moderate DRESS. Patients receiving systemic corticosteroids were more likely to develop infective complications.
