    Pustular patch test reactions to nickel sulfate in atopic dermatitis patients occurred on inflamed or traumatized skin. These reactions, possibly due to primary irritation, differed from those in keratosis pilaris.

    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Allergy Testing

    Background:

    • Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin condition.
    • Patch testing is crucial for identifying contact allergens.
    • The nature of pustular reactions in AD requires further elucidation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the characteristics of pustular patch test reactions in patients with atopic dermatitis.
    • To differentiate follicular lesions in AD from those in keratosis pilaris.
    • To explore the role of skin trauma and inflammation in eliciting pustular reactions.

    Main Methods:

    • Patch testing with 5% nickel sulfate was performed on patients with atopic dermatitis.
    • Reactions were assessed on normal skin, inflamed skin (erythema, lichenification), follicular papules, and traumatized skin.

  • Control individuals and patients with keratosis pilaris were included for comparison.

    • Main Results:

    • Pustular reactions to nickel sulfate were frequent on inflamed or traumatized skin in atopic dermatitis patients.
    • Reactions were less common on normal-appearing skin unless traumatized.
    • No pustular reactions were observed in keratosis pilaris lesions, suggesting distinct pathology.

    Conclusions:

    • Pustular patch test reactions in atopic dermatitis appear to be primarily irritant in nature.
    • Skin barrier disruption and inflammation significantly influence patch test reactivity in AD.
    • Follicular lesions in atopic dermatitis are pathologically distinct from those in keratosis pilaris.
