Topical corticosteroid phobia in atopic dermatitis: a study of its nature, origins and frequency

Abstract

Background  Topical corticosteroids remain the mainstay of atopic dermatitis therapy. Many atopic dermatitis therapeutic failures appear to be attributable to poor adherence to treatment due to topical corticosteroid phobia.


Objectives  This study was undertaken to assess the facets, origins and frequency of fear of topical corticosteroid use among atopic dermatitis patients.


Methods  A questionnaire comprising 69 items, generated from information gathered during interviews with 21 patients and 15 health professionals, was given to consecutive patients consulting at the outpatient dermatology departments of five regional university hospitals or with 53 dermatologists in private ...

Allergic contact dermatitis caused by isopropyl alcohol: a missed allergen?

Background. Isopropyl alcohol is a secondary alcohol, a structural isomer of propanol, that is widely used as an industrial solvent and as a preservative and antiseptic in the clinical environment. It is known to be a mild irritant for the eyes and mucous membranes, but is considered to be a weak and infrequent sensitizer.


Objectives. To show that isopropyl alcohol should be considered as a potential allergen in patients with eczema who have contact with this substance.


Materials and methods. We present a series of 1450 patients patch tested with isopropyl alcohol ...

Contact allergy in the cleaning industry: analysis of contact allergy surveillance data of the Information Network of Departments of Dermatology

Background. Occupational contact allergy is a common problem in the cleaning industry.


Objectives. To identify the most frequent occupation-associated allergens and time trends in contact allergy in female cleaners.


Methods. We analysed the patch test data concerning 803 female cleaners, who were evaluated for occupational contact dermatitis in 45 dermatological departments contributing to the Information Network of Departments of Dermatology (IVDK) from 1996 to 2009. Female patients, except cleaners, with occupational dermatitis (n = 14494) and female controls without occupational dermatitis (n = 64736) patch tested during this time period formed the ...

Correlation Between Preoperative Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Surgical Margins with Modified Mohs for Dermatofibrosarcoma Protuberans

BACKGROUND
Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is characterized by asymmetrical and poorly defined growth. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been proposed for the delimitation of this tumor.


OBJECTIVES
To study the utility of MRI in evaluating the depth of infiltration in DFSP and to compare the efficiency of clinical palpation with that of MRI in delimiting the invasiveness of DFSP.


METHODS
Observational, prospective study of DFSP cases. The MRI scans for all cases were compared with the exact histological infiltration plane obtained using modified Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS).


RESULTS
Forty-three DFSPs were included: 22 primary, ...
