Original Title:
Αλλεργική δερματίτιδα εξ’ επαφής σε βαφές μαλλιών
Translated title:
Allergic contact dermatitis from hair dyes
Summary:
Contact dermatitis is an inflammatory skin condition caused by exposure to environmental allergens. The treatment of choice for allergic contact dermatitis is the elimination of the responsible allergen. Identification of allergens that are sensitized by a delayed sensitization mechanism is done with skin allergy tests (patch -tests). The purpose of this review is to present the most common allergens found in hair dyes and sensitize hairdressers and consumers as well as cross-reactions. The number of substances and the rate of sensitization are recorded, but due to the fact that technology is constantly evolving and new substances and products are being discovered or created, this list is constantly being upgraded and reformed.
In addition, an important goal is to present proper counseling to hairdressing professionals by describing appropriate prevention measures in their daily lives, as well as consumer awareness testing tests, by presenting home tests that they can perform on their own before use a new hair dye.
