“…The manufacturer confirmed the presence of HEMA in the glue. 122 A highly (meth)acrylate-allergic patient underwent surgery because of nodular struma. Three days after her operation she developed an oozing, highly pruritic dermatitis, 8 Â 19 cm in width on her left thigh, at the site where an electrosurgical earthing plate had been used during the surgery.…”

Abstract2‐Hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) has been increasingly recognised as a contact allergen and was added to the European baseline series in 2019. In this article (2 parts), the results of an extensive literature review of the clinical aspects of contact allergy/allergic contact dermatitis to HEMA are presented. In part 1, the epidemiology of HEMA contact allergy is discussed and detailed information on published case series and case reports presented. HEMA is an important cause of contact allergy/allergic contact dermatitis in North America and Europe with recent prevalences of >3% in the USA + Canada and 1.5%–3.7% in Europe. Currently, most cases are caused by nail cosmetics, both in consumers and professional nail stylists. In our literature review, we have found 24 studies presenting case series of patients with allergic contact dermatitis attributed to HEMA and 168 case reports. However, the presence of HEMA in the products causing ACD was established in only a minority. Part 2 will discuss cross‐ and co‐sensitisation, and other skin reactions to HEMA, will assess whether HEMA is the most frequent (meth)acrylate allergen and how sensitive HEMA as a screening agent is, investigate the presence of HEMA in commercial products and provide practical information on patch testing procedures.

“…at D3 and D7. 79 A 38-year-old dental nurse developed vesicular dermatitis on her hands and fingers, and simultaneously paresthesia of fingers 1-3 of her right hand. Patch testing was performed with the European standard series and three acrylate resins to which she had been exposed, including two components of a dental adhesive system.…”

This is the second part of a literature review of the clinical aspects of contact allergy to and allergic contact dermatitis from 2‐hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA). Topics include cross‐ and co‐sensitization, atypical manifestations of contact allergy, frequency of positive patch tests to HEMA compared with other (meth)acrylates, sensitivity of HEMA as a screening agent, the presence of HEMA in commercial products, and practical information on patch testing procedures. Primary sensitization to methacrylates including HEMA may result in methacrylate and acrylate cross‐sensitization. There is a strong cross‐allergy between HEMA, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA), and hydroxypropyl methacrylate; many reactions to EGDMA are cross‐reactions to primary HEMA sensitization. Rare atypical manifestations of HEMA‐allergy include lichen planus, lymphomatoid papulosis, systemic contact dermatitis, leukoderma after positive patch tests, and systemic side effects such as nausea, diarrhoea, malaise, and palpitations. The occurrence of respiratory disease caused by methacrylates such as asthma is not infrequent. HEMA is the most frequently patch test‐positive methacrylate. It is a good screening agent for allergy to other (meth)acrylates. Patch test sensitization to HEMA 2% pet. is extremely rare. There are (some) indications that HEMA is frequently used in dental products and nail cosmetics.

“…UV-cured (light-cured) glues are generally acrylic-based. In the literature there are some reports of contact allergy from these products [115][116][117][118]. Acrylic compounds mentioned in safety data sheets of these products include 2-HEMA, 2-HPMA, 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate (2-HEA), isobornyl acrylate (IBA), and 2-(2-ethoxyethoxy)ethyl acrylate.…”
