Abstract
Purpose of review: This paper explores how environmental factors influence allergic skin diseases, including atopic dermatitis (AD), contact dermatitis (CD), urticaria, angioedema, and reactions to drugs and insect bites.
Recent findings: Research indicates a significant impact of environmental elements on allergic skin diseases. High air pollution levels exacerbate symptoms, while climate change contributes to increased skin barrier dysfunction, particularly affecting AD. Allergen prevalence is influenced by climate and pollution. Irritants, like those in detergents and cosmetics, play a major role in CD. Plants also contribute, causing various skin reactions. Understanding the interplay between environmental factors and allergic skin diseases is crucial for effective management. Physicians must address these factors to support patient well-being and promote skin health amidst environmental changes.
综述目的:本文探讨了环境因素如何影响过敏性皮肤病,包括特应性皮炎(AD)、接触性皮炎(CD)、荨麻疹、血管性水肿以及对药物和昆虫叮咬的反应:研究表明,环境因素对过敏性皮肤病有重大影响。空气污染严重会加重症状,而气候变化会导致皮肤屏障功能失调,尤其会影响过敏性皮炎。过敏原的流行受气候和污染的影响。刺激物,如洗涤剂和化妆品中的刺激物,在 CD 中扮演着重要角色。植物也会引起各种皮肤反应。了解环境因素与过敏性皮肤病之间的相互作用对于有效治疗至关重要。医生必须正视这些因素,为患者的健康提供支持,并在环境变化中促进皮肤健康。
期刊介绍:
The aim of Current Allergy and Asthma Reports is to systematically provide the views of highly selected experts on current advances in the fields of allergy and asthma and highlight the most important papers recently published. All reviews are intended to facilitate the understanding of new advances in science for better diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of allergy and asthma.
We accomplish this aim by appointing international experts in major subject areas across the discipline to review select topics emphasizing recent developments and highlighting important new papers and emerging concepts. We also provide commentaries from well-known figures in the field, and an Editorial Board of internationally diverse members suggests topics of special interest to their country/region and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research. Over a one- to two-year period, readers are updated on all the major advances in allergy and asthma.
