Introduction: Allergic and irritant compounds are frequent in nature, and the environmental allergic factors which can induce or exacerbate eczema are different and often unknown in different areas. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of contact dermatitis in patients with chronic dermatitis referring to dermatology clinics in kerman. Methods: In this descriptive study, standar...

The development of chronic allergic dermatitis in early life has been associated with increased onset and severity of allergic asthma later in life. However, the mechanisms linking these two diseases are poorly understood. In this study, we report that the development of oxazolone-induced chronic allergic dermatitis, in a mouse model, caused enhanced OVA-induced allergic asthma after the resolu...

Chronic actinic dermatitis is a chronic photosensitivity disorder characterized by severe eczematous lesions on sun-exposed skin areas. We report a case of chronic actinic dermatitis presenting with leonine facies and secondary adrenal insufficiency, which was successfully treated with topical tacrolimus. The facial lesions dramatically improved after sun avoidance and topical tacrolimus applic...

Contact dermatitis is one of the most common reasons for consultation in dermatology. However, general dermatologists do not always appreciate the importance of patch testing. These tests should ideally be performed in specialist skin allergy units, most importantly in cases suggestive of contact dermatitis, severe acute dermatitis, chronic persistent dermatitis, and dermatitis affecting the ey...

BACKGROUND Cutaneous mucinoses are a heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by an abnormal amount of mucin in the skin. However, the pathomechanism of an excessive mucin deposition in the skin is still unknown. Eczematous dermatitis is sub-classified histologically into acute, subacute, and chronic variants. The characteristic histopathologic findings for chronic eczema are variable. Ho...

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic, inflammatory and pruritic skin disease with a prevalence of 10-20%. Recent studies suggested the effect of selenium on immunoregulation in AD. In this study we report 4 cases of atopic dermatitis according to Hafniin and Rajka criteria. Serum selenium levels were increased and serum total IgE were decreased in all patients. These results show that selenium i...

Graft versus host disease (GVHD) has traditionally been divided into acute GVHD and chronic GVHD based on the period it occurs after transplantation. Chronic cutaneous GVHD has traditionally been classified into the lichenoid and scleroderma-like forms. However, unusual clinical forms have been reported such as dermatomyositis, lupus erythematosus and exfoliative dermatitis. A 35-year-old woman...

Abstract Background: Atopic dermatitis is a common skin disease associated with chronic inflammation in the skin and itches and most patients have a positive family history of dermatitis. The major treatment of dermatitis, based on allopathic medicine, includes symptomatic treatment by oral antihistamines and topical or oral corticosteroids, which, in lo...

The environment is a very influential factor in the incidence of dermatitis. Dermatitis skin disease that acute, sub-acute/ or chronic caused by inflammation occurs due to exogenous and endogenous factors. problem this study high prevalence dermatitis community, reaching 623 cases. purpose analyze analysis impact environmental studies, personal hygiene, work history on community Darul prosperou...
