“…The relevant contacts were emollients and ointments, notably in AD patients (22). Amerchol L101 is a lanoline derivative used in furniture polish, waxes, cutting oils, textiles, furs, leather, inks and paper, as an emollient and emulsifier in ointments and in cosmetic products such as soaps, shampoos and hair conditioners, aftershave, baby and bath oil, hand sanitisers, lipstick, and creams (23). Currently, none of the recommended emollients prescribed by physicians in Sweden contain lanoline.…”

Atopic dermatitis is the most common chronic inflammatory disease among children in industrialised countries. Many factors influence this disease in a negative way and contact allergy is one such factor. The aim of the study was to examine the frequency of contact allergy among children with the diagnosis atopic dermatitis. Contact allergy was found in 22/82 children (26.8%), the most common from Amerchol L101 (11.0%), potassium dichromate (7.3%), and nickel sulfate (4.9%). A statistically significant difference in contact allergy frequency was demonstrated for those with hand and/or foot eczema compared to those without. Children with atopic dermatitis who suffer from hand and/or foot dermatitis should always be patch-tested to evaluate whether they have a relevant contact allergy and thus allergic contact dermatitis.

“…39 The innate allergenicity or irritancy of the allergen, the site of contact, the degree of contact, the exposure time to contactants, the thickness and integrity of the skin involved, the environmental conditions, the immunocompetency of the patient and genetics affect the type, severity and location of the CD. However, there are other diseases that are caused by an external inciting factor such as contact urticaria (CU) and protein contact dermatitis (PCD).…”
