Objective: Contact hypersensitivity (CHS), or allergic contact dermatitis (ACD), is an inflammatory skin disorder characterized by an exaggerated allergic reaction to specific haptens. During this delayed-type allergic reaction, the first contact with the allergen initiates the sensitization phase, forming memory T cells. Upon repeated contact with the hapten, the elicitation phase develops, activating mostly macrophages, cytotoxic T cells, and neutrophilic granulocytes.

Allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) is an increasingly common skin condition characterized by itchy rashes in response to allergens. The most common diagnostic test involves patch testing (PT), but despite the efficacy of PT for identifying and guiding patients toward avoidance of allergens, PT alone does not elucidate the underlying biomechanistic changes which may be useful for sub-categorizing ACD further. In addition, some patients may never be able to identify their causative allergens unless they go to highly specialized ACD centers.

The resistant and recalcitrant nature of severe allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) makes treatment challenging. With advances in the understanding of the cellular and molecular pathogenesis of this dermatosis, new therapeutic options are emerging. In particular, the use of biologic drugs such as dupilumab and small molecule inhibitors, such as JAK inhibitors have gained momentum given the cross-cutting inhibition of multiple cytokine actions.
