“…Allergic contact cell-mediated hypersensitivity involves epithelial alterations and multifaceted T-cell-mediated mechanisms, and is the critical mechanism involved in allergic contact dermatitis, a frequent inflammatory skin disorder triggered by epicutaneous contact with haptens in sensitized people [ 1 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 ]. Contact hypersensitivity has been reported to occur more frequently in women, with a ratio of women to men of 2:1, likely due to social, behavioral, and environmental factors [ 16 , 17 , 18 ].…”

The dysfunctionality of the protective skin barrier in psoriasis allows easier cutaneous penetration of various contact haptens; thus, such patients can develop allergic contact hypersensitivity as a comorbidity. Both skin conditions involve T-cell-mediated mechanisms. Dermatologists and allergists should consider assessing allergic contact cell-mediated hypersensitivity in selected psoriasis patients, especially those with palmoplantar psoriasis and who are refractory to topical treatments, and in patients with psoriasis, with or without arthritis, treated with biologics that present skin lesions clinically suggestive of contact dermatitis.

“…4 , 5 Several factors such as the type of the allergen, duration of exposure, region, age, gender, and race have been implicated in the induction of ACD and may contribute to differences in prevalence rates. 6 Genetic predisposition is considered an essential prerequisite for the development of ACD. 7 As opposed to irritant reaction which is considered non-specific, ACD is believed to be caused by prolonged and repeated contact with a specific allergen or hapten.…”

Objectives:To detect common skin-sensitizing agents among patients experiencing allergic contact dermatitis (ACD).Methods:This was a retrospective study of 152 patients with clinically suspected ACD who underwent patch testing in an allergy clinic at King Khalid University Hospital, Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia between January 2012 and February 2015. Of these patients, only 74 (48%) patients reacted to one or more contact allergens. This group of patients included 58 (78.4%) women and 16 (21.6%) men (mean age: 37.8±13.8 years). Patch testing was performed using the thin-layer rapid-use epicutaneous patch test panels.Results:Nickel sulfate was the most common sensitizing agent, with 26 (35.1%) patients yielding a positive result; followed by p-phenylenediamine in 17 (22.9%), butyl-tetra-phenol formaldehyde in 12 (16.2%), gold sodium thiosulfate in 10 (13.5%), and thimerosal in 6 (8.1%) patients. Nickel reactivity was significantly higher among women (41.4%) than among men (12.5%) (p<0.0001). Similarly, gold reactivity among women (15.5%) was also higher than among men (6.2%) (p≤0.02).Conclusion:The high level of skin sensitization due to nickel, PPD, and gold in patients with ACD emphasizes the need for measures to decrease exposure to these sensitizing agents.
