Allergic Contact

Although most visits for skin disease are managed by primary care physicians, diagnosis and treatment of skin disease are often difficult for family doctors. In this article, two cases of occupational allergic contact dermatitis in ironers are presented. Both patients only developed their dermatitis when they came into contact with formaldehyde. Occupational dermatitis are very frequent with important social and economic implications: thus, they represent a therapeutic challenge non only for dermatologists, but also for family doctors.

Allergic Contact

Redness and scaling of the feet in prepubertal children is likely to represent a skin disease other than tinea pedis. If the dermatitis involves the dorsum of the feet, allergic contact dermatitis is a likely cause. In this study, 8/19 (42%) children with involvement of the dorsum of the feet had clinically relevant positive patch tests related to shoe allergens. All who avoided the allergens remained free of disease on a 2-year follow-up examination. Those children with dermatitis on the weight-bearing surface of the foot (juvenile plantar dermatosis) did not have positive patch tests (P = .15).
