“…In the present study, it was found that use of occlusive footwear, artificial jewellery, sanitizer, detergents were commonest predisposing factors for dermatitis. Similar findings were reported in an observational Indian study by Thilak S et al 17 Particularly, the indiscriminate use of alcohol based sanitizer in wake of COVID 19 pandemic has led to increased occurrence of contact dermatitis, wherein symptoms were resolved by use of topical corticosteroid, moisturizer and avoidance of sanitizer. 18,19 Reduction in TSS in mometasone group was more as compared to fluticasone group in all these predisposing factors.…”

Contact dermatitis is one the commonest dermatological condition which is managed by topical corticosteroids. Mid potent topical corticosteroids are commonly prescribed but there is no any comparative data between mometasone furoate and fluticasone propionate in the management of dermatitis.A real world retrospective study was conducted across India to compare the clinical assessment of mometasone 0.1% cream and fluticasone 0.005% cream in the management of contact dermatitis at 236 dermatology clinics.A data of 1106 patients were included in this analysis in which 598 were included in mometasone group while 508 in fluticasone group. At the end of 2 weeks, 216 patients (36.1%) in mometasone and 129 patients (25.4%) in fluticasone group achieved complete clearance of symptoms (p<0.05). Additionally, in mometasone group, 354 patients (59.2%) were found to achieve improvement whereas 293 patients (57.7%) achieved the same in fluticasone group. On further sub group analysis on aggravating factors, it was found that, mometasone was statistically significant in relieving symptoms of dermatitis due to artificial jewellery, detergent and occlusive foot ware than fluticasone. Moreover, mometasone demonstrated significant results in physician and patient global assessment as well. Patients in both groups tolerated therapy well.Both, mometasone furoate and fluticasone propionate were effective and safe in treatment of eczema/dermatitis. But mometasone furoate had shown significantly better effectiveness as compared to fluticasone in all predisposing factors for the disease.

“…Age can affect the occurrence of dermatitis in farmers because as human skin ages, it loses the top fat layer and becomes more sensitive and drier. Older skin is also more prone to allergies, sensitivity, and irritation compared to younger skin due to a weakened immune system (Sundararaj, Govindaraju, & Thangaraj, 2017). Weakening of the immune system in old age is triggered by the diminution of the thymus gland, which makes it harder for skin cells to maintain their moisture levels due to the depletion of the basal layer.…”

Background: Dermatitis refers to the inflammation of the skin and can be acute, sub-acute, or chronic. In 2014, there were 364 cases in Meureubo Health Center , which increased sharply to 1,854 cases in 2915 and 2,794 cases in 2016. Purpose: This study looks at the relationship between personal hygiene and a history of contact with families suffering from dermatitis and the incidence of dermatitis in farmers in West Aceh Regency. Methods: This research was conducted using a descriptive observational design and was carried out in the working area of the Meureubo Health Center in West Aceh Regency between 5 December 2017 and 8 January 2018. A purposive sampling technique was used for the collection of primary and secondary data. Results: The majority of respondents were male (60%), aged 31–40 years (66%), and had a low education level (76%). The majority of farmers had poor personal hygiene (61%) and had a history of contact with families suffering from dermatitis (66%). Conclusion: There is a high prevalence of poor personal hygiene in farmers, and they tend to have a history of contact with family members suffering from dermatitis.
