“…Notably, India reported a substantially higher prevalence, ranging from 13.4% to 24.2% (Table 3). 2,3,[9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22] Our data demonstrated a higher likelihood of females developing footwear ACD than males. This finding aligns with the majority of previous studies (Table 3).…”

“…This finding aligns with the majority of previous studies (Table 3). 13,15 The female predominance can be attributed to the broader range of materials used in female footwear and the likelihood of females not wearing socks, which may potentiate sensitisation. However, it is essential to note that the proportion of females in our Footwear ACD Group was significantly lower than that of females with ACD caused by other factors at our clinic.…”

BackgroundFootwear contact allergy is caused by exposure to allergens in shoes. The prevalence and common allergens vary by region and time due to differences in customs and lifestyle.ObjectivesTo determine the clinical characteristics and common allergens of patients with footwear‐related allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) who attended Siriraj Hospital in Bangkok, Thailand, between 2001 and 2020.MethodsThe medical records of 247 patients with clinically suspected footwear dermatitis who underwent patch testing were reviewed.ResultsThe prevalence of ACD to footwear was 1.8%. Females were predominant (71.6%). The three most common allergens were carba mix (7.7%), mercapto mix (6.9%) and potassium dichromate (6.9%). According to the allergens found, rubber (14.2%), adhesives (7.7%) and leathers (6.9%) were the three most common groups. Dorsal‐limited skin lesions were significantly associated with footwear ACD.ConclusionRubber and leather allergens were still the most common culprit allergens. Dermatologists should keep up‐to‐date on common allergens in footwear and emerging allergens to include in patch test series.
