Allergic contact dermatitis is the classic delayed hypersensitivity reaction, developing in two phases – sensitization and elicitation. It can have profound effects on affected individuals and may result in sickness, absence from work and increased health expense. Its diagnosis requires consideration of many factors including the patient's history and a physical examination; knowledge of the skin's reaction to various chemicals is also desirable. Above all, it requires a high degree of suspicion on the part of the clinician and tenacity, skill and experience in the investigator. The diagnosis can only be confirmed by interpreting patch test results and the technique in itself has many pitfalls for the unwary. Any sensitization identified needs to be put into the context of a past or present dermatitis, and explanations for allergen avoidance or substitution need to be provided for the patient.

A functional immune system is crucial for a healthy life, protecting from infections, tumors, or autoimmune disorders; these are accomplished by the interaction between various immune cells. Nourishment, particularly micronutrients, are very important components in the immune system balance, therefore this review emphasizes the vitamins (D, E, A, C) and Dendritic cells’ subsets due to vitamins’ roles in immune processes, especially on dendritic cells' functions, maturation, and cytokine production. Current studies reveal significant benefits related to vitamins, including vitamin E, which can contribute to the control of dendritic cells’ function and maturation. Furthermore, vitamin D plays an immunoregulatory and anti‐inflammatory role in the immune system. Metabolite of vitamin A which is called retinoic acid leads to T cells’ differentiation to T helper 1 or T helper 17, so low levels of this vitamin exacerbate the menace of infectious diseases, and vitamin C has anti‐oxidant effects on dendritic cells and modulate their activation and differentiation program. Additionally, the correlation between the amount of vitamin and the occurrence or progression of allergic diseases and autoimmunity disorders is discussed according to the results of previous studies.
