“…The positivity rate to fragrance mix in FCD is much higher than in SFD, OFD and non-facial eczematous skin diseases ( Table 1). The frequency of reactions to fragrance mix in the standard series in the SFD, OFD and non-facial eczematous skin diseases patients is similar to that at St John's Hospital for Diseases of the Skin, while a much higher rate was found in FCD patients (8). These results suggest that fragrance is the main contact allergen in FCD patients in China.…”

The rôle of contact allergens and aeroallergens in facial dermatitis (FD) was studied. 114 cases of FD were divided into 3 groups. Group 1 comprised 47 cases of facial cosmetic dermatitis (FCD), in which all patients had a history of dermatitis related to cosmetics clinically; group 2 comprised 15 cases of seasonal facial dermatitis (SFD); Group 3 comprised 52 cases of other FD (OFD) that could not be categorized as FCD or SFD. Reactions to contact allergens and aeroallergens were detected using patch testing and intradermal testing, respectively, with non-facial eczematous skin disease patients serving as controls. The positivity rate for each allergen between different groups was compared by the chi2-test. The results show that the positivity rate for fragrance mix in FCD is much higher than in non-FCD (27.7% versus 6.7% in SFD, 7.6% in OFD and 6% in eczema patients, p<0.05). No significant difference was detected for other common allergens, such as PPD, rubber mix, nickel sulfate, and colophonium (p>0.05 for all). These results suggest that fragrance mix contains the main contact allergens in FCD. Patch testing with patients' own products also yields high numbers of relevant results in FCD and OFD. No relevant patch test results were found in SFD, indicating that contact allergy may not be relevant to SFD. No significant difference was observed between intradermal skin reactions to aeroallergens, including pollens and moulds, in SFD, OFD, FCD and controls. These results suggest that Type I reactions to aeroallergens may not be relevant in FD. The rôle of aeroallergens in FD needs to be studied further.

“…The patients with a suspicion of ACD caused by cosmetics were determined by the disease history, and clinical examination based on a standard textbook. 12 Once the acute phase of the dermatitis was under control with appropriate treatment and the test site was free of any lesion, all patients were patch tested with European standard series (25 allergens) and simultaneously with cosmetic series (Chemotechnique Diagnostics AB, Malmö, Sweden) including 45 allergens which were selected excluding those already present in European standard series, namely, parabens, quaternium 15, and methylchloroisothiazolinone ⁄ metylisothiazolinone. Exclusion criteria included the use of systemic corticosteroids or any other immunosuppressive therapy, UV exposure in the test area within the last 1 month and pregnancy.…”

Patch testing in allergic contact dermatitis: is it useful to perform the cosmetic series in addition to the European standard series?

Patch testing with cosmetic series in addition to the European standard series increased the capability to detect the relevant allergen/allergens, particularly in patients with a suspicion of cosmetic allergy. However, it is not practical and cost-effective to test those patients routinely with all 45 allergens in the cosmetic series. As the European baseline series which includes methyldibromo glutaronitrile is now widely used as the guideline minimum set of allergens for routine diagnostic patch test investigations, we additionally recommend Euxyl K400 and isopropyl myristate as the candidates for patch testing.
