    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Allergology
    • Toxicology

    Background:

    • Eczematous dermatitis of the feet is a common condition.
    • Shoe contact is a potential trigger for foot dermatitis.
    • Identifying causative allergens is crucial for effective management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the incidence of contact allergy in patients with foot eczema.
    • To identify the specific allergens responsible for allergic contact dermatitis of the feet.

    Main Methods:

    • A series of 165 patients with eczematous dermatitis of the feet were studied.
    • Clinical correlation with shoe contact was performed.
    • Patch testing was used to identify relevant sensitizers.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • 108 out of 165 patients (65.4%) showed positive reactions to one or more substances.
    • Key sensitizers identified include chromium, paraphenylenediamine, paratertiary butylphenolformaldehyde resin, and nickel.
    • Other identified allergens include benzocaine, neomycin, balsam of Peru, ethylenediamine, and parabens.

    Conclusions:

    • Allergic contact dermatitis of the feet is prevalent.
    • Recognition and avoidance of specific topical allergens are essential for prevention.
    • Control of hyperhidrosis may also contribute to preventing foot dermatitis.
