Propolis is a notable cause of contact hypersensitivity in beekeepers. Its chemical composition varies by region, complicating allergy investigations. While propolis allergies are documented in Western populations, no studies exist in India.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Aim<\/jats:title><jats:p>To assess the prevalence and patterns of dermatitis among beekeepers, identify contact sensitisers and evaluate its impact on quality\u2010of\u2010life (QoL).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>An 18\u2010month community\u2010based cross\u2010sectional study was conducted involving 340 beekeepers from the Kashmir Valley in North India. Data collection included personal interviews, dermatological examinations and patch testing using self\u2010made antigens of propolis, beeswax, royal jelly and standardised Baseline Indian Standard Series. The Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) was used to measure the impact of dermatitis on QoL.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Dermatitis prevalence among beekeepers was 17.1%, with the majority presenting with hand eczema. Onset or worsening of dermatitis was reported by 77.6% after working in apiaries. Significant associations were found with duration of beekeeping (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.05) and a history of atopy (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001). Patch testing revealed 27.5% of beekeepers with positive reactions, primarily to propolis (10% in pet). The mean DLQI score was 3.5, indicating a generally small impact on QoL.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Dermatitis was a common occupational condition among beekeepers, strongly associated with the duration of beekeeping and a history of atopy, though its overall impact on QoL was limited.
