Abstract

Allergic Contact Dermatitis (ACD) is an acquired cutaneous inflammatory reaction caused by contact with a specific exogenous allergen to which a person was previously sensitized. ACD is a type IV delayed-type hypersensitivity response. It accounts for approximately 20% of new incident cases of contact dermatitis. Allergic contact dermatitis occurs more commonly seen in middle aged men due to their contact with allergens during occupation.1
