Abstract

Background

Very little is known about skin exposures and related contact dermatitis among adolescents in the general population.

Objectives

To explore the epidemiology of contact dermatitis and related skin exposures in Danish adolescents.

Materials and Methods

The study was designed as a self-administered questionnaire study. An electronic questionnaire, intended to cover previous and current atopic dermatitis, previous and current facial- and hand eczema, and current skin exposures, was sent out to a random sample of 13.000 Danish individuals aged 15–19 years.

Results

A total of 5251 (40%) responded to the questionnaire. More than one third of participants (33.8%) reported a history of contact dermatitis from the use of a cosmetic product, and nearly 20% had a history of dermatitis following skin contact with a metal item. The risk of contact dermatitis from the use of cosmetic products was significantly and strongly associated with female sex (OR 2.9) and atopic dermatitis (OR 1.8).

Conclusion

Adolescent girls were significantly more exposed to cosmetic products, piercings, hair dye, brow tints and artificial nails compared to boys and at a younger age. Given that contact dermatitis may become chronic and result in lifelong skin issues, greater attention should be directed toward enhancing the safety of cosmetic products.

丹麦青少年接触性皮炎和相关暴露——来自一项全国性问卷研究的自我报告数据

背景：对于普通人群中青少年皮肤暴露和相关接触性皮炎的了解甚少。目的：探讨丹麦青少年接触性皮炎及相关皮肤暴露的流行病学。材料与方法：本研究采用自填问卷法。一份电子问卷，旨在涵盖既往和当前的特应性皮炎，既往和当前的面部和手部湿疹，以及当前的皮肤暴露，被随机发送给13000名年龄在15-19岁的丹麦人。结果：共有5251人（40%）参与问卷调查。超过三分之一的参与者（33.8%）报告了因使用化妆品而导致的接触性皮炎史，近20%的参与者在皮肤接触金属物品后出现了皮炎史。使用化妆品引起接触性皮炎的风险与女性（OR为2.9）和特应性皮炎（OR为1.8）显著且强烈相关。结论：与男孩相比，青春期女孩明显更多地接触化妆品、穿孔、染发剂、眉色和人工指甲，而且在更年轻的时候。鉴于接触性皮炎可能成为慢性并导致终身皮肤问题，应更加重视提高化妆品的安全性。

期刊介绍： Contact Dermatitis is designed primarily as a journal for clinicians who are interested in various aspects of environmental dermatitis. This includes both allergic and irritant (toxic) types of contact dermatitis, occupational (industrial) dermatitis and consumers" dermatitis from such products as cosmetics and toiletries. The journal aims at promoting and maintaining communication among dermatologists, industrial physicians, allergists and clinical immunologists, as well as chemists and research workers involved in industry and the production of consumer goods. Papers are invited on clinical observations, diagnosis and methods of investigation of patients, therapeutic measures, organisation and legislation relating to the control of occupational and consumers".
