Dermatitis alérgica de contacto a cosméticos / Allergic Contact Dermatitis Caused by Cosmetic Products

La dermatitis de contacto por cosméticos es un problema dermatológico frecuente, creciente, con un gran impacto en la calidad de vida de los pacientes que lo padecen y con un importante coste invertido en la búsqueda de estrategias diagnósticas, terapéuticas y de prevención. Su prevalencia se ha estimado entre el 2 y el 4% de las consultas dermatológicas, y aproximadamente el 60% de los casos son de causa alérgica. Los productos de higiene e hidratación cutánea son los responsables de la mayoría de los casos, seguidos de los cosméticos ungueales y capilares. Las fragancias son la causa más frecuente de alergia a cosméticos, seguidos de los conservantes y los tintes capilares; pero todos los componentes, incluyendo los ingredientes naturales, deben ser considerados como potenciales sensibilizantes. A lo largo de este trabajo se detallarán los datos relevantes de los alérgenos más frecuentes de los productos cosméticos: fragancias, conservantes, antioxidantes, excipientes, surfactantes, humectantes y emulsificantes, ingredientes naturales, tintes capilares, fotoprotectores y cosméticos ungueales

Contact dermatitis due to cosmetic products is a common dermatologic complaint that considerably affects the patient’s quality of life. Diagnosis, treatment, and preventive strategies represent a substantial cost. This condition accounts for 2% to 4% of all visits to the dermatologist, and approximately 60% of cases are allergic in origin. Most cases are caused by skin hygiene and moisturizing products, followed by cosmetic hair and nail products. Fragrances are the most common cause of allergy to cosmetics, followed by preservatives and hair dyes; however, all components, including natural ingredients, should be considered potential sensitizers. We provide relevant information on the most frequent allergens in cosmetic products, namely, fragrances, preservatives, antioxidants, excipients, surfactants, humectants, emulsifiers, natural ingredients, hair dyes, sunscreens, and nail cosmetics

Dermatitis de contacto profesional en la industria eólica / Occupational Contact Dermatitis in the Wind Energy Industry

Introducción y objetivos: En el año 2010 la energía eólica en España incrementó su capacidad de cobertura un 16%, lo que posiciona al país en el cuarto lugar del mundo en este sector industrial, de gran desarrollo económico y fuente de empleo. Las dermatosis profesionales en este campo han sido poco estudiadas. Con el presente estudio se pretende describir las principales características de la afectación cutánea en sus trabajadores y los alérgenos implicados. Material y método: Se realiza un estudio descriptivo y observacional de trabajadores de la industria eólica con sospecha de dermatitis de contacto remitidos a consulta de Dermatología Laboral de la Escuela Nacional de Medicina del Trabajo entre 2009 y 2011. Se realizó historia clínica, historia laboral, exploración física y pruebas epicutáneas según los materiales manipulados por estos trabajadores. Resultados: Se estudiaron 10 trabajadores (8 hombres, 2 mujeres) pertenecientes a esta industria. La media de edad fue de 33,7 años. El cuadro principal fue eccema que afectaba a la cara, a los párpados, a los antebrazos y a las manos. En 4 trabajadores se encontró una sensibilización a resinas epoxi, uno de ellos presentó, además, sensibilización a sus endurecedores. Un paciente se encontraba sensibilizado a la resina de bisfenol F, con negatividad de la resina epoxi de la batería estándar. En los 5 casos restantes el diagnóstico final fue el de dermatitis de contacto irritativa por fibra de vidrio. Conclusiones: Las dermatosis ocupacionales en la industria eólica son cada vez más frecuentes. Las resinas epoxi son sus principales alérgenos, mientras que la fibra de vidrio suele producir cuadros irritativos (AU)

Background and objectives: In 2010, wind energy coverage in Spain increased by 16%, making the country the world’s fourth largest producer in a fast-developing industry that is also a source of employment. Occupational skin diseases in this field have received little attention. The present study aims to describe the main characteristics of skin diseases affecting workers in the wind energy industry and the allergens involved. Material and methods: We performed a descriptive, observational study of workers from the wind energy industry with suspected contact dermatitis who were referred to the occupational dermatology clinic of the National School of Occupational Medicine (Escuela Nacional de Medicina del Trabajo) between 2009 and 2011. We took both a clinical history and an occupational history, and patients underwent a physical examination and patch testing with the materials used in their work. Results: We studied 10 workers (8 men, 2 women), with a mean age of 33.7 years. The main finding was dermatitis, which affected the face, eyelids, forearms, and hands. Sensitization to epoxy resins was detected in 4 workers, 1 of whom was also sensitized to epoxy curing agents. One worker was sensitized to bisphenol F resin but had a negative result with epoxy resin from the standard series. In the 5 remaining cases, the final diagnosis was irritant contact dermatitis due to fiberglass. Conclusions: Occupational skin diseases are increasingly common in the wind energy industry. The main allergens are epoxy resins. Fiberglass tends to produce irritation (AU)

Sensibilización a la resina epoxy agravada en el tiempo: un caso inusual / Sensitization to epoxy resin increasing over time: an unusual case

Trabajador de 58 años, en industria aeronáutica desde el año 1966 (chapa y montaje), donde se manejan resinas epoxi. Estudiado en 2001 por eccema de manos y antebrazos, se realizaron pruebas epicutáneas, que fueron positivas a la resina epoxi. Diagnosticado de eccema alérgico de contacto por esta resina, se llevó a cabo un cambio de puesto de trabajo, destinándose al paciente a las oficinas. Tras 9 años en este puesto, presentó brotes de intenso eccema en la cara, el cuello, los miembros superiores y los pliegues inguinales. Unas nuevas pruebas epicutáneas observaron la persistencia de la sensibilización a resina epoxi (bisfenol F), que se había agravado en el tiempo. Los eccemas causados por resinas epoxi no suelen reaparecer si se evitan los ambientes en que se manipula dicha resina. Sin embargo, en casos excepcionales, como el que aquí presentamos, una mínima cantidad de resina vehiculizada a través de la documentación que había permanecido previamente en el taller de la fábrica desencadenó lesiones (AU)

A 58 year old aeronautical industry worker, since 1966 (in maintenance), using epoxy resin composite material was studied in 2001 for presenting eczema in hands and forearm. He showed positive path test reactions to epoxy resin. Patient was diagnosed of contact allergic eczema, and was changed to administrative duties. Nine years later (2010) he presents intense eczema on face, neck, arms and groins. Patch test with epoxy resin (bisphenol F) was done, showed increasing positive results compared to previous ones. Eczemas caused by epoxy resins tend to disappear in a short period of time since the contact with the allergen decreases. However, despite the change to administrative duties and reduced contact with epoxy resin in the current work environment, the eczema that the patient presented was more significant than before, with higher sensitivity in the path test (AU)
