11 Physical Exam Negatives Heliotrope Rash

12 Physical Exam Negatives Gottron s sign Gottron s papules and /RHEUM/50909/Gottrons_sign_DM_II.jpg

13 Physical Exam Negatives Mechanics hands

14 Differential Diagnosis Dermatitis Atopic Dermatitis Contact Dermatitis Allergic Irritant Dermatomyositis

15 Pathology Punch biopsy of upper eyelid The biopsy shows subacute spongiotic dermatitis, and eosinophils are present in the inflammatory infiltrate. The differential diagnosis includes allergic contact dermatitis versus eczematous dermatitis. Features of connective tissue disease are not identified.

16 Differential Diagnosis Dermatitis Atopic Dermatitis Contact Dermatitis Allergic Irritant Dermatomyositis

17 Suspected Contact Dermatitis Characterized by subacute spongiotic dermatitis, and eosinophils Reactants the patient has been exposed to for years that they are only now reacting to Type IV hypersensitivity reactions

18 Identifying Triggers Patch Testing can be performed to identify reactants TRUE panels (36) versus NACDG panels (66) plus patient s home products

19

20 Patch Testing Schedule Day 1 Patient brings in all of their self-care products, test panels are applied Interval No showering, heavy sweating, steroids, or tanning Day 3 Panels outlined and then removed Day 4-5 Final reading, product elimination Follow-up Update on symptoms, maintenance plan

21 Day 5

22 Pictures

23 Strongly Positive Reaction

24 Patient s Patch Testing Results 1+ morphology for propylene glycol which is a preservative found in skin care products and perfumes PG is also used as a softening agent in foods and other products Many prescription contain PG (acetaminophen, cyclosporine, clarithromycin)

25 Patient s Patch Testing Results Weak reaction to lyral which is a component of most perfumes Eyelid rash makes a lyral reaction more likely

26 Product Investigation No products contained propylene glycol or lyral Only partial ingredient list obtained for MaryKay products Patient had homework to find full ingredient list Called back and MaryKay products did have propylene glycol on full list along with fragrance

27 Summary Patch Testing done by dermatologists can aid in identifying exposures Not all ingredient lists are complete Avoidance of allergen is the only definitive treatment Patch testing can be used to distinguish allergic from irritant contact dermatitis TRUE patch testing has a limited spectrum of reactants

28 Questions? Thanks to Dr. Spenny!
