Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue, “Novel Insights into the Prevention and Treatment of Contact Dermatitis”. Contact dermatitis is defined as localized inflammation caused by skin contact with an external factor (e.g., physical or chemical). As a multifactorial disease, individual susceptibility, as well as environmental and occupational factors, play a role in the genesis of contact dermatitis. It can broadly be grouped into irritant and allergic forms, with mixed types being frequent. Contact dermatitis does not only result in a high disease burden for the individuals affected but also a high burden for society in terms of medical costs. Thus, it is of high importance to—at best—prevent contact dermatitis and treat cases by utilizing adequate therapeutic measures.
This Special Issue aims to gather recent developments and achievements in the field of contact dermatitis. Herein, dermatitis will not only be considered in the private sphere but also in the occupational setting. In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Irritant contact dermatitis;
- Allergic contact dermatitis;
- Occupational contact dermatitis;
- The time trends of contact dermatitis as an occupational disease;
- Contact dermatitis of the hands/hand eczema;
- Diagnostics of contact dermatitis;
- Prevention of contact dermatitis ;
- Therapy for contact dermatitis;
- Health education and contact dermatitis;
- Health psychology and contact dermatitis;
- Disease burden of contact dermatitis;
- Skin bioengineering/epidermal barrier function and contact dermatitis.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
With best wishes,
Dr. Cara Bieck
