Article Abstract

Irritant contact dermatitis (ICD) is a common inflammatory skin condition caused by direct cytotoxic effects of irritants on the epidermis. Topical corticosteroids, while effective for treating inflammatory dermatoses, may paradoxically induce adverse skin reactions when misused. This case highlights ICD triggered by self-administration of compound clobetasol propionate ointment, exacerbated by undiagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

Contact dermatitis (CD), which includes both allergic CD and irritant CD, is a common inflammatory condition that can pose significant diagnostic challenges. Although patch testing is the gold standard for identifying causative allergens for allergic contact dermatitis (ACD), it is time-consuming, subjective, and requires expert interpretation. Recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI), particularly in machine learning (ML) and deep learning, have shown promise in improving the accuracy, efficiency, and accessibility of CD diagnosis and management.

Background: Incontinence-associated dermatitis (IAD) is a prevalent and distressing form of irritant contact dermatitis caused by prolonged exposure to urine and/or faeces. Not all incontinent individuals develop IAD, suggesting that additional prognostic factors contribute to its onset. The quality of empirical evidence supporting risk factors for IAD development is moderate to very low.

A 76-year-old woman developed a delayed allergic reaction to adhesive pads following home use of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) for pain management after a complex elbow dislocation. This case highlights the potential for delayed hypersensitivity reactions to TENS electrode pads. Although formal allergology testing was not performed, the woman's self-directed observations offered valuable insight.
