Contact sensitization from topical medications and skincare products is common. Fragrances and preservatives in cosmetics are key global triggers for contact allergies.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Toxicology
  • Allergology

Context:

  • Topical medications and external agents are frequent causes of contact sensitization.
  • Widespread use of skincare products increases sensitization risks.
  • Cosmetics, particularly fragrances and preservatives, are significant global allergens.

Purpose:

  • To review contact sensitization to topical medications and external agents.
  • To highlight skincare products as a major source of sensitization.
  • To identify key allergens like fragrances and preservatives in cosmetics.

Summary:

  • Contact sensitization arises from topical medications and broadly defined external agents.
  • Skin care products are a notable source of sensitization due to extensive application.
