Experts lobby for increased inclusion of sulfites in patch test panels.
Sulfites, present in foods, drinks, pharmaceuticals, and personal care products, have been named the "Allergen of the Year" for 2024 by the American Contact Dermatitis Society .
Some common nonoccupational sulfite sources include hair coloring and bleach products, hairspray, tanning lotions, makeup, sunscreens, and deodorants, Belsito said in his presentation. Medications including topical antifungals, topical corticosteroids, and nasal solutions can be culprits, as can water in swimming pools, he noted.
According to the NACDG study, the hands were the second most common site of dermatitis associated with sulfites followed by generalized distribution . These sites are to be expected, given the sources of food and beverage, personal care products, and occupational materials, Belsito said.
