| Popis: | The plastic, reconstructive, and cosmetic surgeon currently has a large armamentarium of procedures and products designed to improve the aesthetic features of patients. Exposures to potential contact irritants and allergens are plentiful in these settings, and the clinician should be aware of adverse reactions to commonly administered products. The overwhelming majority of these reactions are treatable without sequelae when the cause is elucidated and avoidance and treatment is initiated. The objective of this article is to familiarize individuals who participate in aesthetic procedures with the most commonly encountered chemicals that result in hypersensitivity reactions. There are three basic forms of cutaneous hypersensitivity, irritant contact dermatitis, allergic contact dermatitis, and contact urticaria, although many subgroups exist. Contact dermatitis as a group represents an important cause of inflammatory skin disease in the United States. Fifteen million Americans are estimated to have or have had contact dermatitis. Of these cases, the majority are caused by irritant contact dermatitis, which is a nonimmune-mediated dermatosis resulting from a direct toxic response of the skin to the offending agent. Consequently, sensitization and allergy are not integral to the genesis of irritant contact dermatitis; however, the elaboration of cytokines and cellular infiltrates are requisites to the development of a frank eruption. |
