    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Contact Dermatitis
    • Textile Science

    Background:

    • New textiles often undergo finishing processes.
    • Permanent-pressing resins in fabrics can potentially cause skin reactions.
    • Dermatitis localized to specific body areas may indicate contact allergy.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To identify the cause of a characteristic dermatitis observed in patients.
    • To investigate the link between new bed linens and skin reactions.
    • To determine if permanent-pressing resins are responsible for the observed dermatitis.

    Main Methods:

    • Clinical observation of 25 subjects presenting with a specific dermatitis.
    • Detailed patient history focusing on recent use of new, unwashed bed linens.

  • Identification of the causative agent through correlation with fabric content.

    • Main Results:

    • A consistent pattern of dermatitis was observed.
    • The dermatitis was localized to the ears (helices, lobes, and behind the ears).
    • All affected subjects reported using new, unwashed sheets and pillow-cases containing permanent-pressing resin.

    Conclusions:

    • New, unwashed bed linens treated with permanent-pressing resin are a likely cause of this specific dermatitis.
    • The dermatitis is characterized by papules on the ear.
    • Avoidance of new, unwashed resin-treated textiles is recommended to prevent this reaction.
