An effectiveness of homoeopathic medicines in the treatment and management of Allergic Contact Dermatitis

ABSTRACT

Background: The prevalence of allergic contact dermatitis causes significant morbidity. A detailed history, physical examination, and patch testing are used to diagnose. Currently, many commercially accessible patch testing panels are employed. Foods, workplace exposures, and a wide range of everyday products include allergens. Avoiding the allergen is the cornerstone of treatment, and databases like the Contact Allergen Replacement Database and Contact Allergen Management Program assist patients in choosing goods free of allergens to which they are hypersensitive. Exacerbations can be treated with topical corticosteroids, although prolonged use of these medications is not advised.

Methods: Books, databases including ResearchGate and PubMed, and web archives were used to survey the literature on homoeopathy and its classical literature. For a more specialized design, homoeopathic methods and applications were examined. Homoeopathic explanations were used to explore the relevance of contemporary medical terminology. The factors contributing to allergic contact dermatitis were studied in the literature were presented.

Results: Homoeopathy has a well-established track record of managing and preventing an allergic contact dermatitis. Research and literature have demonstrated that it has anti allergic effects. Hopefully, this natural healing system can be used to counteract the side effects of prolonged, high-dose pharmaceutical therapies.

Conclusion: Homoeopathy is a proven means of best remedy and preventing the any skin allergic response without side effects.

  • INTRODUCTION

Allergic Contact Dermatitis (ACD), also known as allergic contact dermatitis, is a type 4 or delayed-type hypersensitivity reaction (DTH) of the immune system to a tiny hapten (less than 500 daltons in size) comes into touch with skin that has already been sensitized1. Sensitization is the process that increases an allergen-specific T cell population2. It causes the hapten to interact with a protein to generate the initial or induction phase of ACD3. Re-exposure to the antigen causes dermatitis to form during the elicitation phase. 20% of contact dermatoses are caused by ACD, and allergens vary widely depending on region, individual habits, and hobbies, as well as frequently the kinds of preservatives allowed by law, such as quaternion-15 in the United States but not in Europe4.

ACD can be caused by various substances such as allergens and irritants5. The causes may be environmental such as extreme weather conditions, pollens, certain plants and animal hairs, etc. Other triggers may include dyes, cosmetics, clothes, perfumes, cleaning agents, metals, adhesives, rubber, chemicals, fertilizers, dentures, medicines, certain food substances, etc6. In contrast to internal or dietary sources, an allergen on the skin is the primary cause of contact allergy. The specific allergen, innocuous to those not sensitive to it, only causes reactions in a small % of people 7. Years of exposure to the allergen may have passed without their developing dermatitis. Dermatitis can be brought on by contact with minimal amounts of an allergen8.Patients who have deficient filaggrin, a structural protein in the stratum corneum, as a result of atopic dermatitis are at significant risk of additionally developing allergic contact dermatitis9.

  • EPIDEMIOLOGY

A skin inflammation that affects a large portion of the population is allergic contact dermatitis. It is the kind of occupational skin disease that is most prevalent 10. ACD causes 20% of cases of contact dermatitis. It is an unfavourable cutaneous inflammatory reaction brought on by direct skin contact with a particular foreign allergen to which people have already developed sensitivity 10. The primary and most typical kind of immunotoxicity observed in people is ACD 11,12. All ages are affected, albeit adults over 70 are less likely to experience it 13. Individuals repeatedly exposed to the sensitizing agent develop clinical symptoms, frequently characterized by extreme itching, stinging, and pain, along with clearly defined erythema and oedema. Many occupations, including those in the beauty and wellness industries and hairdressing, are susceptible to this skin problem. The hands are the most frequent site of manifestation, and proper diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment 14,15. While contact with a mild allergen may take months to years to cause sensitization, exposure to a potent sensitizer causes sensitization in as little as a week or more 16.It more frequently affects women than men.The problem frequently corresponds with topical treatments in older people.

  • PATHOPHYSIOLOGY

The touch of the allergen on the skin initiates the pathophysiology of allergic contact dermatitis. The skin’s stratum corneum is penetrated by this allergen, which Langerhans cells then take up17,18. These cells then digest the antigens and show them on their surfaces. Then, Langerhans cells move in the direction of local lymph nodes. These cells come into contact with the nearby T lymphocytes while absorbing antigens. Antigen-specific T cells are produced due to the clonal expansion and cytokine-induced proliferation processes. These lymphocytes may then reach the epidermis as they move through the circulation. The sensitization phase of allergic contact dermatitis refers to the entire process. The phase that follows reexposure to the antigen is known as elicitation. The interaction between the antigen-containing Langerhans cells and the T lymphocytes specific to that antigen causes cytokine-induced proliferation. In turn, this proliferation causes a focused inflammatory reaction.

  • SYMPTOMS

A localised, clearly defined skin eruption, most frequently on the hands or face, maybe the first symptom of ACD, though it can also be more widespread. For instance, rinse-off items like body wash or shampoo may come into contact with numerous body regions, resulting in a more diffuse presentation19. Additionally, a more widespread cutaneous reaction may happen when the patient consumes an allergen systemically. Lichenification, fissuring, and scaling are the more typical manifestations of chronic ACD20.

  • DIAGNOSIS

A history, physical exam, clinical presentation, and a positive patch test are typically used to diagnose allergic contact dermatitis21. Patch testing is a series of examinations determining the root cause of allergic contact dermatitis in suspected cases.A patch test involves applying adhesive patches to skin. Chemicals in the patches are known to cause allergic responses frequently. Healthcare professional examines skin for reactions after 48 hours. In another 48 to 96 hours, one last skin examination with your doctor.

  • TREATMENT / MANAGEMENT

Treatments include:

Avoidance: Need to dentify the source of the rash, take precautions to stay away from it or reduce exposure to it. Corticosteroid creams are anti-itch products that can reduce inflammation and irritation22.

Steroids are taken orally: Prednisone, a steroid, can cure rash symptoms that are unresponsive to other medications or antihistamines23.

Immunosuppressive drugs: Used in extreme situations where oral steroids must be taken repeatedly24.

  • DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS

Atopic and irritating contact dermatitis share many morphological similarities in their clinical presentations. Drug eruptions, scabies, urticarial bullous pemphigoid, urticaria, psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis, periorificial dermatitis, and rosacea are different skin disorders that need to be checked out25.

  • PREVENTION

The best strategy to prevent allergic contact dermatitis is to avoid known allergens.

  • Choose moisturizers without fragrances.
  • Use gentle, dye- and fragrance-free soaps and cleansers.
  • After coming into contact with an allergen or irritant, wash right away26,27.
  • PROGNOSIS

The affected populations will live with this sickness for the rest of their life. The best course of action is to avoid the allergy strictly. Treatment aims to control the inflammatory response. The longer someone has ACD, the longer it will take to go away28.

  1. COMPLICATIONS

The inflammatory response plays a role in allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) complications. When the allergen is eliminated, the inflammation goes down. Diffuse dermatitis may develop if the allergen is ingested systemically, although this situation is not regarded as a dermatologic emergency29.
