“…By AD, patients with PD symptoms can be observed positive to pach test reactions and contact allergies in a relative high percentage. 3,6,10,45 The prevalence of contact hypersensitivity in our 401 PD cases was 34.4%. A relatively high prevalence of Nickel sulphate, cobalt chloride, fragrance mix, and antibiotics are the most common contact allergens in the periorbital region.…”

“…The increased skin penetration is characteristic in the periocular region and can mainly be observed in females, children, and in the elderly. [1][2][3] Periocular dermatitis (PD) may be induced by several environmental contact allergens; therefore, one should consider cosmetics first. [4][5][6] Constituents irritating and allergising in mascaras and eye shadows are resins, colophony, solvents, glittering powders (aluminium, bismuth oxide, titanium), volatile oils and perfumes, lanalcolum, antioxidants, preservatives (paraben esthers, phenylmercuriacetate, Quaternium, sodium sorbate, benzalkonium chloride), and blending substances (diisopropanolamine, propylenglycol).…”

The occurence of contact hypersensitivity in PD patients was in present study 34.4%. A relatively high occurrence was seen in cases of PD without other symptoms, in PD + OC and in PD + AD patients. The predominance of environmental contact allergens was remarkable: most frequent sensitizers were nickel sulphate, fragrance mix I, balsam of Peru, thiomersal, and PPD. The prevalence of contact hypersensitivity to ophthalmic allergens did not exceed l.5%.

Spectrum of periorbital dermatoses in a tertiary care centre in Puducherry

Background: Periorbital dermatoses are dermatological manifestations of the area around the eyes. They are the most commonly encountered dermatoses in routine dermatological practice posing both diagnostic and therapeutic challenge for dermatologists due to the similarity of symptoms and close proximity to the eyeball. In the present study, our aim is to study the spectrum of periorbital dermatoses in a tertiary care centre in Puducherry.Methods: This was a hospital based study in which all the patients attending dermatology OPD irrespective of their age and sex were screened for periorbital dermatoses over a period of 1 year from February 2016 to January 2017. Screening resulted in 300 consenting patients with periorbital lesions. They were subjected to detailed history followed by clinical examination and relevant laboratory investigations. Clinical photographs of all patients were taken.Results: The most common dermatological conditions observed in periorbital region in our study were tumours (benign and malignant) (26.3%) followed by pigmentation (19.3%), eczema (17.3%), infections (13%), nevoid condition (10%), connective tissue disorders (2.6%), miscellaneous conditions (8.2%). Certain periorbital dermatoses were significantly more in females compared to males such as skin tags, periorbital hyperpigmentation, connective tissue diseases. Conclusions: The present study highlights the pattern of specific dermatoses in our hospital.

Metals are in close contact with skin and mucous membranes on a repeated, if not constant, basis. Nickel and mercury, well-recognized causes of contact dermatitis; gold and palladium, recently gaining acceptance as patch test allergens on standard screening trays; and cobalt are reviewed in this article. Sensitization to nickel, the most frequently identified allergen on patch testing, is associated with ear piercing. Contact with this potential allergen is ubiquitous. Mercury may be encountered as organic mercury in thimerosal, used as an antiseptic and a preservative in topical medications and vaccines, and metallic mercury found in dental amalgam and thermometers. Both forms may cause contact dermatitis. Gold, recognized as a frequent sensitizer, has been implicated in some cases of eyelid, patchy diffuse and oral lichenoid dermatitis. Cobalt allergy, found frequently in patients who are nickel allergic, also has been associated with ear piercing. Palladium sensitivity is often associated with nickel allergy. However, the incidence of clinical relevance is yet to be established.
