Background: Lanolin is an important cause of allergic contact dermatitis.
Objectives: The aims of this study were to describe the epidemiology of lanolin allergy and to assess trends in patch test reactions to lanolin over time.
Methods: This study used a retrospective analysis of patients patch tested with lanolin alcohol 30% or Amerchol L-101 50% in petrolatum by the North American Contact Dermatitis Group between 2001 and 2018 (n = 43,691).
Background: Dental personnel are at risk of developing occupational contact dermatitis.
Objectives: The aims of the study were to determine prevalence of occupational contact dermatitis in dental personnel referred for patch testing and to characterize relevant allergens and sources.
Methods: The study used a retrospective, cross-sectional analysis of the North American Contact Dermatitis Group (NACDG) data, 2001-2018.

Article Synopsis
- The study examined the link between stasis dermatitis (SD) and allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) in patients who underwent patch testing.
- Out of 38,723 patients studied, 303 were diagnosed with SD, with 46.7% also having ACD, indicating a significant association between the two conditions.
- Key allergens identified in SD patients included fragrance mix I and bacitracin, predominantly originating from personal care products and topical medications, highlighting the importance of patch testing for better diagnosis and treatment.
