Corticosteroid contact hypersenstivity in seborrheic patients

Sažetak
Puropose of this study was to determine if there is a higher frequency of corticosteroid contact allergy in seborrheic patients treated with corticosteroids who had persistent eczema. We followed 100 patients, 50 with seborrheic dermatitis (SD) treated with local corticosteroids (LC) (group I), 50 SD patients without previous LC treatment (group II) and 50 healthy controls (group III). In all 10 patients patch testing was performed with standard allergen panel together with ten most common corticosteroid creams used in Croatia. Seborrheic patients with constantly eczematous skin diseses, who do not improve or deteriorate during topical corticosteroid therapy, contact allergy to them should be suspected and patch test should be performed.
