Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to collate the latest advances in understanding and managing allergic contact dermatitis (ACD), a prevalent and complex skin condition with significant individual and societal impact. This Special Issue aims to publish cutting-edge research in immunopathology, delve into the emerging field of comorbidities, and highlight novel allergens with increasing clinical importance. Contributions that provide insights into innovative diagnostic techniques, therapeutic approaches, and the broader implications of ACD are particularly welcome to be submitted. In particular, we are seeking original articles, reviews, and case reports that advance the field and inspire new directions in research and clinical practice.
Dr. Francisco José Navarro-Triviño
Guest Editor
