“…They found that patients understood verbal better than written information. A study by Kist et al 16 documented the efficacy of a written shopping list for patients who have skin-care product ingredient allergies. Each patient's shopping list was generated using the contact allergen avoidance database, which is updated quarterly with the ingredients of more than 2000 commercially available skin-care products.…”

“…Each patient's shopping list was generated using the contact allergen avoidance database, which is updated quarterly with the ingredients of more than 2000 commercially available skin-care products. 16 Patients seemed generally more satisfied with patch testing if allergens were identified with the patch testing. Of the patients in our study who thought that patch testing was not helpful, approximately 41% had negative patch-testing results.…”

Contact allergy epidemics and their controls*

Contact dermatitis can be severe and lead to sick leave as well as significant healthcare expenses. The aim of this review is to present the published knowledge on 6 historical epidemics of contact allergy to apply this knowledge on the prevention and control of future contact allergy epidemics. A historical review is performed on nickel, chromium, methylchloroisothiazolinone/methylisothiazolinone, methyldibromo glutaronitrile, formaldehyde, and para-phenylenediamine. The first cases of contact dermatitis are mostly occupational, whereas consumer cases appear later. There is often a latency period from the first cases are observed until an epidemic occurs, and the problem is recognized. Finally, no one seems to take responsibility of dealing with the situation, and there are no attempts of regulation until an epidemic is consolidated among consumers for many years. Steps should be taken to prevent contact allergy epidemics. It is essential that dermatologist, scientists, administrators, and consumers organize and structure known methods to accelerate the control of emerging contact allergens.
