Footwear dermatitis affects 11.7% of contact dermatitis cases, commonly on the feet and toes. Most patients showed sensitivity to specific footwear allergens, highlighting the need for better screening methods.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Allergology
  • Occupational Health

Background:

  • Footwear dermatitis is a common condition.
  • Identifying specific allergens is crucial for effective management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the prevalence and clinical patterns of footwear dermatitis.
  • To identify common allergens responsible for footwear dermatitis.

Main Methods:

  • Patch testing 50 patients with suspected footwear dermatitis and 30 controls.
  • Utilizing a shoe series of 22 allergens.
  • Testing footwear pieces/scrapings from 23 patients.

Main Results:

  • Overall prevalence of footwear dermatitis was 11.7% among contact dermatitis cases.

  • 70% of patients exhibited sensitivity to footwear allergens, compared to 6.67% of controls.
  • Potassium dichromate, colophony, rubber accelerators (2-mercaptobenzothiazole, diphenylguanidine), and p-aminoazobenzene were common sensitizers.

    • Conclusions:

    • Footwear dermatitis is a significant concern, with specific allergens frequently identified.
    • Current patch testing methods are effective in diagnosing footwear dermatitis.
    • Development of primary and secondary footwear screening series is recommended to identify allergens and guide the selection of nonallergenic footwear.
