Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Allergology
  • Cosmetic Science

Background:

  • Cosmetic use is increasing, leading to more cases of allergic contact dermatitis (ACD).
  • Patch testing is crucial for diagnosing cosmetic allergies and identifying specific triggers.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the frequency of positive patch test reactions in suspected cosmetic ACD cases.
  • To identify common allergens causing ACD from cosmetic products.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 58 patients with suspected cosmetic ACD.
  • Patch testing conducted using Indian standard, cosmetic, and fragrance series (Jan 2013-Dec 2015).

Main Results:

  • Most affected patients were aged 20-40 years (60.34%).
  • Face (94.8%) and neck (22.4%) were the most common sites of reaction.
  • Soaps (53.4%) and face creams (24.1%) were most frequently implicated.
  • Cetrimide (20.7%) and thimerosal (15.5%) were the most common allergens identified.

Conclusions:

  • Face creams, soaps, and hair dyes are frequently implicated in cosmetic ACD.
  • Cetrimide and thimerosal are the principal allergens causing ACD from cosmetics.
