Filter by:The gold standard for the diagnosis of allergic contact dermatitis is patch testing, during which allergens are affixed to the skin underneath tape and left for multiple days. A large area of clear skin is thus required for successful testing. While the back is traditionally thought to be the ideal area for testing, the thighs may be more available or advantageous. This study seeks to randomize patients undergoing patch testing to have patches placed on the back or the thighs. The investigators seek to understand the benefits of testing on the legs versus the back in terms of patient experience as well as achieving a successful test. This study will measure patient experience using a survey administered to patients. Quality of testing will be assessed by study coordinators prior the removal of patches.
The goal of this study is to look into the patterns of sensitization to figure out how allergic contact dermatitis (ACD), individual susceptibility, and patient characteristics are connected. The joint application of classic statistics and machine learning methods will reveal the relationship between contact dermatitis expressions and several clinical characteristics.
The purpose of this study is to answer: how do inflammation and anti-inflammatory skin therapies work in the skin? Inflammation is a protective response from the body's immune system to injury, disease, or irritation. It is a process by which your body's white blood cells and the things they make protect you from infection from outside invaders such as bacteria and viruses.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of dupilumab on allergic contact dermatitis.
The current knowledge of the pathophysiology of allergic contact dermatitis is based on the murine model. In this model, CD8+ T cells are effector cells, and CD4+ T cells regulate the response by limiting the expansion of CD8+ T cells. The goal of this study is to characterize the pathophysiology of contact dermatitis, with patients allergic to para-phenylenediamine (PPD). We suppose that the CD8+ T cells are the effectors of the allergic contact dermatitis, although the regulator cells belong to the LT CD4+ population. We will test our hypothesis on blood samples, and cutaneous biopsies of patients allergic to PPD.
