Contact hypersensitivty in facial dermatitis

Facial dermatits may result from allergic or irritant contact dermatits to cosmetics, local creams and ointments, as well as from endogenous conditions such as atopic or seborrheic dermatitis, or combinations of many other factors. The aim of our study was to determine the frequency of positive patch test reactions in patients with facial dermatitis. Patch testing to standard series was performed on 322 patients according to recommendations of the International Contact Dermatitis Research Group (ICDRG). Of the 322 patients patch tested, 131 (41%) were negative, while 191 (59%) were positive mainly to nickel sulphate - 77 (24%), cobalt chloride – 60 (19%), carba mix – 49 (15%), fragrance mix – 41 (13%), neomycin-sulphate – 31 (10%), and detergents 31 (11%). Allergic contact dermatits is a frequent cause of facial dermatits.
