“…5 Several articles beyond the ESSCA have, however, reported on contact allergies linked to specific body sites, such as the hands, legs, feet, and face. [6][7][8][9][10][11][12] One publication reported on the frequency of dermatitis at specific body sites, but not on specific contact allergies. 13 Contact allergies linked to various body sites in patients diagnosed with allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) from the ESSCA database have not yet been reported.…”

Background Analyses of the European Surveillance System on Contact Allergies (ESSCA) database have focused primarily on the prevalence of contact allergies to the European baseline series, both overall and in subgroups of patients. However, affected body sites have hitherto not been addressed. Objective To determine the prevalence of contact allergies for distinct body sites in patients with allergic contact dermatitis (ACD). Methods Analysis of data collected by the ESSCA ( www.essca‐dc.org ) in consecutively patch tested patients, from 2009 to 2014, in eight European countries was performed. Cases were selected on the basis of the presence of minimally one positive patch test reaction to the baseline series, and a final diagnosis of ACD attributed to only one body site. Results Six thousand two hundred and fifty‐five cases were analysed. The head and hand were the most common single sites that ACD was attributed to. Differences between countries were seen for several body sites. Nickel, fragrance mix I, cobalt and methylchloroisothiazolinone/methylisothiazolinone were the most frequent allergens reported for various body sites. Conclusions Distinct allergen patterns per body site were observed. However, contact allergies were probably not always relevant for the dermatitis that patients presented with. The possibility of linking positive patch test reactions to relevance, along with affected body sites, should be a useful addition to patch test documentation systems.

“…11 The fact that allergy to HICC, together with allergies to other fragrances, was least often seen in patients with ACD of the feet is in accordance with previous studies. 10 Formaldehyde is often found in cosmetics. In a recent Danish study, it was mostly found in creams, shampoos, and soaps.…”

“…Patch test characteristics of feet ACD in European patients were reported in the largest study to date of this condition by Landeck et al covering the 2001 to 2010 period. 5 Data reported from the European Surveillance System on Contact Allergies (ESSCA) database from 2009 to 2014 showed that in Spain, ACD with the feet as the single anatomical site was most common (7.7%) among eight countries. 6 To assess the spectrum of allergens related to feet dermatitis in Spain, we conducted a retrospective cross-sectional analysis, with the following objectives: to methods previously reported.…”

Introduction Allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) of the feet accounts for approximately 10% of all patch tested patients. Objective To study the clinical profile of patients with feet dermatitis and relevant contact allergens in Spain over a 10‐year period. Methods Retrospective observational study of patients with suspected ACD from the GEIDAC (Spanish Research Group on Contact Dermatitis and Cutaneous Allergy) baseline series from eight hospitals in Spain between 2004 and 2014. The clinical data collected from each patient were age, sex, occupation, history of atopic dermatitis, and eczema location. Results A total of 450 cases clinically presented dermatitis affecting the feet; of these, 41% of were males and 5.6% were suspected to be of occupational origin. As much as 47% were diagnosed with ACD, 20% with atopic dermatitis/dyshidrotic eczema, and 5% with psoriasis. The “feet group” included statistically significantly more females in the age range of 21 to 60 years. The most frequent relevant contact allergens were potassium dichromate, cobalt(II) chloride, p‐tert‐butylphenol formaldehyde resin, mercapto mix, and mercaptobenzothiazole. Conclusions ACD is the most frequent clinical diagnosis of feet dermatitis in our series. The most frequent allergens are similar to those published in other series of foot ACD in Europe and the trend has not changed in the studied decade.

Patch test characteristics of patients referred for suspected contact allergy of the feet-retrospective 10-year cross-sectional study of the IVDK data

Abstract: Chromium compounds and adhesives were the most common causes of allergic contact dermatitis among our foot patients. Psoriasis should be considered, particularly when the hands are concomitantly affected.
