Nylon stocking dermatitis. An unusual example.

S A Imbeau, C E Reed

    Contact Dermatitis
    |May 1, 1979
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    A woman developed an allergy to specific nylon stockings, reacting only to brown or tan shades. This unusual reaction suggests a chemical interaction between the dye and the finish, creating an allergen.

    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Allergology
    • Toxicology

    Background:

    • Allergic contact dermatitis is a common skin reaction.
    • Nylon fabrics and their associated dyes and finishes can be potential allergens.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with a specific allergy to brown or tan nylon stockings.
    • The patient did not react to paraphenylenediamine, a common dye allergen.
    • Reactions were observed with red and yellow dyes, but not blue or the finish alone.

    Findings:

    • The patient reacted to all dyed nylon samples (red, yellow, blue) when a specific finish was applied.
    • This indicates a potential chemical interaction between the dye and the finish, generating an allergen.
    • The finish may expose or create an antigen not present in the individual components.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the complexity of dye-finish interactions in fabric allergies.
    • Suggests the need for thorough testing of combined chemicals in textile products.
    • Informs diagnostic approaches for unusual contact dermatitis cases related to textiles.
