Nummular Eczema

The etiopathogenesis of the nummular eczema is not fully known. Various causative factors have been proposed, and among these only a few studies investigate the relevance of contact allergy. Here, we present a case of nummular contact eczema in an 8-year-old allergic to perfumes. Since atopic dermatitis may also present with different clinical phenotypes, among which nummular eczema is quite frequent, the possible significant differences between non-atopic and atopic nummular diseases are considered. Based on the high incidence of contact sensitization in all cases of nummular eczema, it is recommended to perform patch tests for diagnostic-preventive purposes.

Patch Tests

Abstract European Baseline Series (EBS) of haptens (contact allergens) is used throughout Europe, containing patch tests essential for the diagnosis of contact allergy (Tables I and II) [1]. Exposure to environmental allergens is constantly evolving and the EBS must be adapted accordingly in order to guarantee its relevance of the molecules tested, in particular by the addition of emerging allergens [1].
