Abstract

Allergic contact dermatitis affects 20% of children at some time during childhood. Diagnosis is based upon the distribution of eczematous lesions rather than the appearance of individual lesions. There are many instances where the allergen are not found by history and epicutaneous testing is required. The clinician should know the 10 most common childhood contact allergens. Children who are considered "atopic" do not have more contact allergy. Treatment requires moderately potent topical steroid ointments. Allergen avoidance is the mainstay of prevention.
