Erythema multiforme following application of hair dye

Abstract: Erythema multiforme (EM) is an acute mucocutaneous hypersensitivity reaction with varying degrees of blistering and ulceration. Common causes of EM are herpes simplex virus infection, mycoplasma infection, drug hypersensitivity, vaccination and drug–virus interaction. EM induced by contact dermatitis is rare. Paraphenylene diamine, a common ingredient in many hair dyes, is well known to produce allergic contact dermatitis. We report a 35-year-old lady presenting with EM following severe contact dermatitis to h… Show more

“…Inflammation is one of the major hallmarks of cancer, and inflammatory signaling can modulate the transcription and translation of several pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines that play a role in tumorigenesis [ 50 ]. To investigate whether inflammatory signaling pathways were altered in IRF9-deficient mice after DSS administration, we measured the activation of NF-κB and p38 mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) and found them to be similar in the colon of WT and IRF9-deficient mice 14 days after AOM/DSS treatment ( Figure 3 A).…”
