Photocontact dermatitis to cosmetics is a challenging entity to diagnose and manage.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title>Objectives<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>To evaluate the clinical features and photocontact sensitivity patterns in patients with cosmetic dermatitis and establish their association based on patch and photopatch test results.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>A prospective observational study, where 80 patients with a clinical diagnosis of cosmetic dermatitis were patch or photopatch tested (as per indication) with the Indian standard series, Indian cosmetic and fragrance series, and the patient\u2019s personal product(s).<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>A total of 104 positive reactions were observed in 57\/80 patients, of which 50 were relevant to cosmetics usage. Sixty-five patients underwent a photopatch test, and 17 tested positive. Photosensitivity in patients was significantly associated with a positive photopatch test (p-value &lt; 0.001). Various new photo-allergens were discovered, including propylene glycol, triethanolamine, chloroacetamide, isopropyl myristate, cetrimide and hexamine. Facial melanosis was a predominant clinical finding in 44 patients, with pigmented contact dermatitis detected in 19 (43.2%) of these cases.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title>Limitations<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Patients\u2019 personal products could not be tested on every patient. Chemical analysis of indigenous products and the individual chemical ingredients of the patient\u2019s personal products could not be patch-tested separately. Phototesting was not performed in patients with photosensitivity.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>In patients with suspected cosmetic dermatitis with history of photosensitivity or those with facial melanosis of unknown origin, a photopatch test is crucial to detect potentially hidden photo allergens. Many new photo allergens have emerged in the present study. Cosmetic companies should provide detailed information regarding each constituent of the cosmetic products.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.25259\/ijdvl_1110_2022","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,19]],"date-time":"2024-04-19T10:45:19Z","timestamp":1713523519000},"page":"479-485","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.25259\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Clinical profile and photocontact sensitivity pattern in patients with cosmetic dermatitis: A prospective study"],"prefix":"10.25259","volume":"90","author":[{"given":"Kumari","family":"Monalisa","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology, Maulana Azad Medical College, New Delhi, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bijaylaxmi","family":"Sahoo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology, Maulana Azad Medical College, New Delhi, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"10894","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"10.25259\/IJDVL_1110_2022\/ref-1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"469","DOI":"10.1016\/s0190-9622(08)80890-0","article-title":"A primer on cosmetics.
