Recently, there has been a growing number of cases reported among children. We conducted a systematic review using the PRISMA framework to identify cases of pediatric CHE. Search terms included \"eczema,\" \"dermatitis,\" \"pompholyx,\" \"dyshidrosis,\" \"contact allergy,\" and \"pulpitis.\" Case reports of patients aged <18 years old without an alternate/confounding diagnosis were included. 62 cases were included with a mean age of 10.9 years. In the patients with reported data, 61% (28/46) had a history of atopy and 38% (14/37) reported lesions were present for >1 year. The most common cause was allergic-contact dermatitis (71%) with the bilateral hands affected (87%). A total of 35 unique triggers were identified, with the top 5 being homemade slime (n = 28), store-bought slime (n = 8), outdoor plants (n = 4), UV-curing methacrylate nail polish (n = 4), and sporting gloves (n = 4). Patch testing was performed in 87% (54/62) of patients, of which 96% (52/54) tested positive to 1+ allergens. Positive reactions to methylchloroisothiazolinone and/or methylisothiazolinone (MCI/MI) were among the most common. In 53% (33/62) of patients, removal of the trigger resulted in resolution. Patterns of CHE triggers in pediatric patients differ from adults, and workup should include a detailed history of leisure-time and school activities. MCI/MI was the most common culprit, and trends involving children making slime has led to an increase in prolonged/repeated exposure. Awareness of potential causes ensures early identification, patch testing, prompt removal of trigger, and appropriate management.</p>","PeriodicalId":15403,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cutaneous Medicine and Surgery","volume":" ","pages":"12034754251322883"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143500769","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is the most common cause of depigmentation with an estimated worldwide prevalence of 1% but has shown insufficient response to current therapies. The latest research in vitiligo pathogenesis has translated into finding new molecular targets [type I interferon and Janus kinase signal transducers and transcription activators (JAK STAT) pathways], with new therapies generating promising results, such as JAK inhibitors. Other therapeutic strategies include phototherapy, surgical treatment, and complementary options such as micropigmentation, microneedling, and lasers. This review aimed to discuss the mechanisms involved in the development of the disease and the new therapeutic options that have become available, as well as the evidence on complementary therapies. For this purpose, a review of the evidence was conducted using the PubMed database. Based on this review, it was concluded that the progress in understanding the pathophysiology of vitiligo has allowed for the consideration of new molecular targets, with JAK inhibitors showing particular promise in both systemic and topical applications. Nonetheless, further investigation is required to assess the safety of JAK inhibitors and to determine the optimal regimen and dosage for administering these drugs.
