Abstract

Abstract : Airborne allergic contact dermatitis occurs when allergen particles suspended in the air deposit on the skin. Many allergens can result in an airborne distribution if presented in an aerosolized form. This review summarizes the allergens in the American Contact Dermatitis Society Core Allergen Series that have been documented to cause airborne allergic contact dermatitis. In addition to responsible allergens, this article also reviews management and treatment options.
