Abstract
The most common cause of periorbital dermatitis is allergic contact dermatitis. This study aimed to determine the patch test results and demographic characteristics in patients diagnosed with periorbital dermatitis by evaluating their patch test results between 2012 and 2022. The thin-layer rapid-use epicutaneous test (T.R.U.E. test) results of patients diagnosed with periorbital dermatitis over the specified period were retrospectively evaluated. Of the 102 patients included in the study, 58 (56.9%) had a positive reaction to at least one allergen. The most common allergens to which the patients had positive reactions were nickel sulfate (31.0%), gold sodium thiosulfate (19.0%), fragrance mix (13.8%), balsam of Peru (10.3%), colophony (10.3%), cobalt dichloride (8.6%), formaldehyde resin (6.9%), thimerosal (5.2%), quaternium-15 (5.2%), carba mix (5.2%), and potassium dichromate (5.2%). This study provides comprehensive data on the demographic characteristics and patch test results of patients with periorbital dermatitis.
期刊介绍:
Dermatologic Therapy has been created to fill an important void in the dermatologic literature: the lack of a readily available source of up-to-date information on the treatment of specific cutaneous diseases and the practical application of specific treatment modalities. Each issue of the journal consists of a series of scholarly review articles written by leaders in dermatology in which they describe, in very specific terms, how they treat particular cutaneous diseases and how they use specific therapeutic agents. The information contained in each issue is so practical and detailed that the reader should be able to directly apply various treatment approaches to daily clinical situations. Because of the specific and practical nature of this publication, Dermatologic Therapy not only serves as a readily available resource for the day-to-day treatment of patients, but also as an evolving therapeutic textbook for the treatment of dermatologic diseases.
