Contact dermatitis to cosmetics
Maisa Alfalah

E
verybody uses cosmetics: Shampoos, soaps, toothpaste, perfume, deodorants, hair dye, moisturizers, makeup, nail polish,
etc. Adverse reactions are rare in proportion of use, but common in absolute numbers. Irritant contact dermatitis is more
frequent than allergy. Some people with very sensitive skin are intolerant of most cosmetics (status cosmeticus). Cosmetics
are generally safe but at times cause a lot of discomfort. Prevalence of adverse reactions is unknown as most victims never
report. Hair dyes and artificial nails cause the worst reactions. Occupational dermatitis is frequent among hairdressers and
beauticians. Patch testing is the key diagnostic procedure.
