A comprehensive review of the literature was conducted using PubMed and Google Scholar, employing both MeSH and non-MeSH terms related to urticaria, histamine, and diet. The review included 78 selected articles published between 2014 and 2024. CSU is a persistent disease in which a considerable number of patients do not respond optimally to standard treatments. Up to one-third of these patients may benefit from reducing the intake of pseudoallergens and histamine-rich foods. Bioactive amines present in various foods tend to exacerbate CSU symptoms by promoting the release of histamine and other inflammatory mediators. The restriction of dietary histamine and the enhancement of diamine oxidase (DAO) enzyme function appear to alleviate symptoms, although variability in reported histamine levels across studies complicates the development of standardized guidelines. It is concluded that a low-histamine and pseudoallergen diet is a promising option for reducing symptoms in patients with chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU), particularly those who do not achieve adequate control with antihistamines. Evaluating the effectiveness of this diet over a period of three to four weeks is recommended to observe potential benefits. Nevertheless, additional studies and further standardization are necessary to define safe histamine levels in foods and improve therapeutic recommendations.</p>","PeriodicalId":101421,"journal":{"name":"Revista alergia Mexico (Tecamachalco, Puebla, Mexico : 1993)","volume":"72 2","pages":"119-130"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144586059","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is likely the most frequent reason for performing patch tests because many substances used in cosmetics are potent allergens. Cosmetic contact dermatitis most frequently affects the face. Patch test series need to be continuously revised to identify outdated and emerging allergens. The aim of this study is to propose a reformulation of the patch test series for cosmetics. The list of European Surveillance System on Contact Allergies was initially used to select the allergens. Publications in PubMed from the last 10 years were sought, showing the frequency of positive reactions to cosmetic allergens that were tested as part of a baseline series or cosmetics series. Subsequently, large international databases evaluating retail products were consulted to verify if these substances were present in cosmetics, because the relevance would be their presence in commercially sold cosmetics. It was adopted a threshold of 0.3% positive patch test reactions for including a substance in cosmetics series. It was deleted those present in the baseline series (Associação Brasileira de Alergia e Imunologia), fragrances, and allergens limited to hair products. It is believed that choosing too few allergens may result in the non-identification of relevant allergens and treatable cases. On the other hand, testing a series with many allergens is time-consuming and more costly. Therefore, it seems appropriate to create cosmetics series with 20 elements.</p>","PeriodicalId":101421,"journal":{"name":"Revista alergia Mexico (Tecamachalco, Puebla, Mexico : 1993)","volume":"72 2","pages":"107-118"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144586066","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
