“…7 Also, Calnan et al found majority (42%) patients of hand dermatitis occurred between 20-39 years. 8 This may be because the capacity for sensitization is less in extremes of age and also may be due to the decreased occupational exposure to various allergens.…”

Background: Contact dermatitis in housewives is a common dermatological problem as almost all housewives have to handle vegetables, fruits, soaps and detergents. The purpose of this project was to study etiologic profile of contact dermatitis occurring in housewives.Methods: One hundred housewives, clinically diagnosed as having contact dermatitis, were randomly selected for the study. Each patient was then subjected to patch testing using the Indian standard battery and certain indigenously prepared antigens i.e. vegetables, soaps and detergents. The first reading was taken 60 minutes with second reading at 96 hours. Reading equal to or more than 1+ was considered to be a positive test.Results: Majority patients were in the age group of 20-30 years. Morphological diagnosis was wear and tear dermatitis in 43%, discoid eczema (19%), fingertip eczema (16%), hyperkeratotic (15%) and pompholyx (7%). Nickel sulphate was found to be the commonest allergen (19%) followed by para-phenylenediamine (8%), fragnance mix (7%), Balsam of Peru (6%), parthenium (6%) and cobalt (5%). Amongst vegetables, the commonest culprit was garlic. Allergic reaction to detergents was positive in 13% patients. Forty-four percent of the cases tested positive to the suspected allergen whereas 31% patients tested positive for allergens not initially suspected of causing contact dermatitis in them.Conclusions: Thus patch testing is an important tool in establishing the cause of allergic contact dermatitis of the hands in housewives in whom the hand eczema is multifactorial. This enables the correct etiological diagnosis and proper management of housewives with hand dermatitis.

“…Wir stellten in einer ersten Übersichtsarbeit 1986 anhand der damalig aktuellen Literatur und anhand unserer eigenen Daten die häufigsten Kontaktallergene bei Hausfrauen/-männern vor [38]. In 5 unterschiedlichen Kollektiven mit kleinen Fallzahlen wurden insgesamt 48 Allergene als die jeweils 10 häufigsten Allergene bei Patienten mit Hausfrauenekzem ermittelt [1,7,12,18]. Dies kann zum einen durch die zu kleinen Kollektive erklärt werden, zum anderen auch durch regionale Unterschiede von z.B.…”

The development of hand eczema is a relatively commonly seem dermatosis in housewives. In 1986 we presented a first survey of potential contact dermatitis sources for a housewife. Now, we present an update in which we analyse the different contact sources in the household and grade them in comparison to the data of 1986. The results are based on the analysis of a large population of 2633 patients with the occupation "housewife" and the diagnosis "eczema" who have been seen in departments of dermatology belonging to the Information Network of Departments of Dermatology (IVDK).

“…During the years between 1948 and 1987, the frequency of contact dermatitis was determined with large collectives (on average 1517 persons) in various countries by means of patch tests (1 % or 2 % p-phenylenediamine in vaseline). On average and independent of sex or race, positive reactions were seen in 9 % of the tested persons [26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40].…”
