Abstract
There is a worldwide increase in food and nutrition-related contact dermatitis, including
irritant contact dermatitis, allergic contact dermatitis, systemic contact dermatitis,
protein contact dermatitis, and photocontact dermatitis. A wide range of patients
is affected by this condition, from those who consume certain foods as part of their
diet to workers who handle food occupationally. Patch testing, analytical chemistry,
and reporting may help in timely recognition of contact allergens. Elimination of
exposure to the known food or supplement is imperative for treatment. Currently, more
research is needed in order to better define the role that nutrition plays in contact
dermatitis.
