“…Our results showed that the ratios of products containing PG, parabens and triethanolamine were much higher than those of previous reports. [2][3][4] PG is an uncommon allergen and irritant; however, Patel et al 5 reported that the most common source of PG was topical medicaments, constituting 77.8% of relevant reactions. Parabens were identified in 56% of products in our study.…”

When we suspect topical corticosteroid (CS)-induced allergic contact dermatitis (ACD), it is important to obtain information about the vehicle as well as the active ingredients involved. For in the case of ACD caused by a component of vehicle it may not be helpful to avoid CS and its cross-reactors. Furthermore, CSs are applied to diseased skin. METHODSThis study included both prescription and non-prescription drugs sold in Korea between March and May 2023. Of the 930 products categorized as topical CSs by the Korean Index of Medical Specialties, 1 419 were in production at the time of the study. Excluding identical products with different dosages, a total of 204 products were studied.Listed components were matched with haptens in the Korean Standard Series (KSS), European Baseline Series (EBS), American Contact Dermatitis Society Core Allergen Series 2020 (ACDS) and Cosmetic Series (CoS) (Chemotechnique ® ) databases.

Purpose of review Occupational allergic contact dermatitis (OACD) is an important work-related skin disease. Information about the causative agents comes from many sources, including patch test databases, registries, case series and case reports. This review summarizes new information about common causative allergens and diagnosis. Recent findings Common causes of OACD include rubber components, epoxies and preservatives. New exposure sources for these allergens continue to be described. Often these exposure sources are related to the changing world around us, such as allergens related to smartphones and technology, and personal protective equipment-related exposures during the COVID-19 pandemic. New allergens are also being described, some of which are related to known allergens (e.g. a new epoxy or acrylate component). Accurate diagnosis is critical to effective management of OACD, which may include removing the worker from exposure to the causative allergen. Safety data sheets may not contain complete information and patch testing with specialized series of allergens and workplace materials may be necessary. Summary This review provides current evidence about causes of OACD and important aspects of diagnosis. This is important for clinical practice to ensure cases of OACD are not missed.
