“…Acrylates are acrylic resin monomers known to be potent allergens . In recent years, an epidemic of contact dermatitis has been described in relation to the use of acrylates in nail cosmetics, especially semi‐permanent enamels, but acrylates can also be found in other cosmetic products such as eyelash fixers or hair prostheses . In addition, these patients may have lesions resulting from other sources of exposure to acrylates, such as wound dressings or tape.…”

“…Only five cases of contact dermatitis caused by wigs have been reported. In two of them the cause was the dyes used in the wig, in another one no epicutaneous tests could be performed to confirm the diagnosis, but in the remaining two patients acrylates were used to fix the wigs . The main allergens in contact eczema related to a wig would apparently be these two.…”

Patch tests were positive for the suspected cream and with bakuchiol 0.1% pet., whereas 10 control patients also tested with this ingredient showed negative results. Finally, our case further illustrates the usefulness of a ROAT when a patch test with a suspected cosmetic remains negative.

“…These types of adhesives may last up to 30 days. 11,12 Bonding and taping may lead to contact dermatitis, especially from adhesives that contain cyanoacrylate. Although reactions to glues are considered not common, the more widespread use of these products is likely to be associated with an increased incidence of positive test reactions.…”

Background: Throughout history, wigs have often had a relevant cultural and social importance with correlations to wealth and position of power. Wigs help minimize the psychological consequences of different types of hair loss. They may reduce potential experiences of stigmatization, and improve social confidence and quality of life, besides enhancing self-esteem and social adjustment. In dermatology, wigs may have a positive impact on the global treatment of patients suffering from alopecia as they offer an immediate and efficient cosmetic result. However, the medical literature on wigs is not extensive. Aims: This review aims to discuss synthetic wigs and nonsynthetic custom-made hair systems, highlighting different hair fibers, foundations, various types of prosthesis, and the most common methods of attachments used to make wigs. Methods: The terms "wigs", "hair" AND "camouflage", "alopecia" AND "camouflage", and "hair prosthesis" were used to perform a literature search in MEDLINE through PubMed until April 8th, 2020. The search was limited to English-language peer-reviewed journal articles about humans, and it included only nonsurgical alternatives to camouflage alopecia. Conclusions: This article will help physicians, especially those who care for patients with hair loss, to provide appropriate advice for their patients about the wide variety and peculiarities of wigs and hairpieces currently available.

“…Bonding and taping may be used for attachment but may lead to contact dermatitis, especially from wig adhesives such as acrylates (Torchia et al 2008). Cases of allergic contact dermatitis to adhesives have been reported, particularly with the widespread use of cyanoacrylate (Sornakumar et al 2013).…”

Hair is venerated, cherished, and desired in societies throughout the world. Both women and men express their individual identities through their hairstyles. Healthy hair contributes to successful social assimilation, employment, and overall quality of life. Therefore, hair loss can have detrimental effects on almost every aspect of a person’s life. In this review, we discuss the myriad of options that aid in concealing and camouflaging hair loss to facilitate a healthier-appearing scalp. Camouflage options for patients who suffer from hair loss include full or partial wigs, hair extensions, concealing powders and sprays, surgical tattoos, and hair transplants. We describe these modalities in detail and discuss their respective advantages and disadvantages.
