Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) is a prevalent form of eczema that affects the general population, regardless of the age and or sex. The pathophysiology of ACD is very interesting given that each allergen can mediate a characteristic immune-mediated reaction. The use of immunomodulators during the week of the study may alter the results by blocking certain inflammatory pathways, such as inflammation mediated by Th2 lymphocytes. Comorbidities associated with ACD have not been specially studied. Although the treatment of ACD is avoidance of the detected allergen, topical and systemic treatments outside the technical specifications are sometimes required. We look forward to discussing these topics in this Special Issue.
Dr. Francisco Navarro-Triviño
