“…15 On the other hand, ICD increased to 40.4% in patients with eyelid involvement only, probably due to thin skin and occlusion of the eyelids, as well as frequent contact with irritants such as cosmetics, shampoos, and preservatives of ophthalmological topical drugs. 2,16 Finally, we documented the eyelids as a frequent site of AD (30.5%), even when they represented the exclusive involved site of (26.2%), a much higher percentage than the Brazilian (12.7%) 14 and USA (13.1%) 1 data.…”

“…This data is strengthened if we consider patients with eyelid dermatitis only (82.2%), likely due to the greater use of cosmetic products in females compared to males, even if this sex distribution may undergo changes in the future due to the increasing use of facial personal care products by males 12 . The significantly higher frequency of atopy history (both personal and familiar) in E‐Group compared to NE‐Group confirms that atopy is a predisposing factor for eyelid dermatitis 1,13,14 …”

BackgroundEyelid dermatitis is a frequent reason of dermatological consultation. Its aetiology is not univocal, being contact dermatitis, both allergic and irritant, the most frequent. The primary sources of allergen exposure include cosmetics, metals, and topical medications, from direct, indirect, or airborne contact.ObjectivesTo define the frequency of positive patch test reactions to SIDAPA baseline series allergens, to document positive allergens, and to precise the final diagnosis in patients with eyelid involvement.MethodsA total of 8557 consecutive patients from 12 Italian Dermatology Clinics underwent patch testing with SIDAPA baseline series in 2018 and 2019. Patients were divided into two groups: (i) with eyelid involvement with or without other involved sites (E‐Group) and (ii) without eyelid involvement (NE‐Group). The final diagnosis and the frequency of positive relevant patch test reactions were evaluated.ResultsE‐Group consisted of 688 patients (females 78.6%, mean age 45.3 years), 8.0% of 8557 consecutively patch‐tested patients. The final diagnosis in E‐Group was ADC in 42.4%, ICD in 34.2%, and AD in 30.5%. The highest reaction rates were elicited by nickel sulphate and methylchloroisothiazolinone/methylisothiazolinone in both E‐Group and NE‐Group, even if these allergens were significantly more frequently positive in NE‐Group patients than in E‐Group ones. Positive patch test reactions to fragrance Mix II, dimethylaminopropylamine, and sorbitan sesquiolate were significantly more frequent in E‐Group patients than in NE‐Group ones.ConclusionsEyelid dermatitis is a frequent dermatological complaint. Allergic contact dermatitis is the most frequent diagnosis commonly caused by nickel sulphate, isothiazolinones, and fragrances. The surfactants dimethylaminopropylamine and sorbitan sesquioleate are emerging causes of eyelid allergic contact dermatitis.
