Prevalence and risk factors for allergic contact dermatitis to topical treatment in atopic dermatitis: a study in 641 children

Abstract

Topical treatment of AD is associated with cutaneous sensitization. Antiseptics and emollients represent the most frequent sensitizers and may be included in the standard series in AD children when contact dermatitis is suspected. Risk factors associated with sensitization to AD topical treatments are AD severity, early AD onset and IgE-mediated sensitization.
