Skin diseases are the second most common form of occupational disease with contact dermatitis accounting for 10 to 15% of all occupational illnesses with an annual associated cost of at least 1 billion [7], Although irritant dermatitis accounts for the majority of cases of contact dermatitis, studies have reported that contact allergies are relevant in between 20 to 50% of contact dermatitis cases [8], In 2003 there were 49 cases of occupational skin disease reported for every 100,000 workers in private...

Contact allergy to glucocorticoids is not rare in patients with atopic dermatitis. In patients with known contact allergy to budesonide, allergic skin reactions can also occur when inhaled forms of the drug are used, as shown by a randomized, double-bhnd, placebo-controlled study in 15 non-asthmatic patients with budesonide hypersensitivity on patch testing (101). In four of seven patients who used inhaled budesonide, there was reactivation of the 6-week-old patch test sites and they had new distant skin lesions. No flare-up reactions were observed in the other 11 patients (three had used inhaled budesonide and eight placebo for 1 week). None of the patients developed respiratory symptoms spirometry and peak expiratory flow rates remained normal.

Contact allergy to topically applied aluminium compounds is rare but skin sensitization has been described (54). In one case the use of a cream for acne and hyperpigmentation was followed by dermatitis, and patch tests were positive to both aluminium sulfate and aluminium chloride. A more typical antecedent of sensitization is the injection of aluminium-adsorbed vaccines, and such patients may present with a granulomatous nodule at the site. Mixed contact sensitivity to nickel and aluminium has been reported to respond to antihistamine therapy (55).

Bufexamac is intended for topical use as a cream (using iontophoresis, ultrasound, and massage). Local intolerance causes burning and irritation, attributable to components of the cream. Urticaria, folliculitis, and pyoderma can occur when occlusive dressings are used. The course of contact allergy by bufexamac was particularly protracted and refractory in most of the 24 patients observed in one hospital in 1983-1987 (1). An erythema multi-forme-like rash associated with contact dermatitis has been reported (SEDA-18, 103). In children, long-term topical use of bufexamac was well tolerated with few mild local adverse effects (SEDA-20, 91).
