Fragrance ingredients are a common cause of contact allergy. Very little is known about these patients' strategies to manage their disease and the effect on their daily lives.
To investigate if patients with diagnosed fragrance contact allergy used scented products, how they identified tolerated products, and if fragrance allergy affected their daily living.
One hundred and forty-seven patients diagnosed with fragrance contact allergy in a 20-month period were included and received a postal questionnaire concerning the subjects of the study. One hundred and seventeen (79.6%) replied.
In total, 53/117 (45.3%) responded that they had found some scented products that they could tolerate. Thirty-seven (31.6%) had not tried to find any scented products and 26 (22%) had tried but could not find any. The methods most often used were trying different products and reading the ingredient label. Of the total respondents, 17.1% reported sick-leave due to fragrance allergy and 45.3% found that fragrance allergy significantly affected their daily living.
Many patients with fragrance contact allergy succeeded in finding some scented products, which they could tolerate, e.g. by use of ingredient labelling, but a significant proportion had continued skin problems. Almost half of the patients perceived that fragrance allergy significantly affected their daily lives.
香料成分是接触过敏的常见原因。对于这些患者管理疾病的策略及其对日常生活的影响，我们知之甚少。
调查已确诊的香料接触过敏患者是否使用有香味的产品，他们如何识别可耐受的产品，以及香料过敏是否影响他们的日常生活。
在 20 个月的时间里，我们共纳入了 147 名诊断为香料接触过敏的患者，并向他们发送了一份有关研究主题的邮寄问卷。有 117 名（79.6%）患者做出了回复。
共有 53/117（45.3%）名患者表示他们找到了一些可耐受的有香味的产品。37 名（31.6%）患者没有尝试寻找任何有香味的产品，26 名（22%）患者尝试过但找不到任何可耐受的产品。最常使用的方法是尝试不同的产品和阅读成分标签。在所有受访者中，17.1%的人因香料过敏请病假，45.3%的人发现香料过敏对他们的日常生活有显著影响。
许多香料接触过敏患者成功地找到了一些他们可以耐受的有香味的产品，例如通过使用成分标签，但仍有相当一部分患者存在持续的皮肤问题。近一半的患者认为香料过敏对他们的日常生活有显著影响。
