Toilet-seat contact dermatitis is a common condition around the world and is reemerging in the United States. It can be easily recognized and treated. However, few practitioners consider this diagnosis, which results in a delay in treatment and often exacerbation of the skin eruption. In the past, exposure to wooden toilet seats and associated varnish, lacquers, and paints led to the development of an allergic contact dermatitis on the buttocks and posterior thighs. In recent years, most public facilities have changed to plastic seats, resulting in a change in the clinical presentation of toilet-seat dermatitis. We present 5 cases of toilet-seat dermatitis in children from the United States and India and review the history, presentation, and clinical course of the disease. Our findings suggest that toilet-seat dermatitis is more common than previously recognized and should be considered in any child with a dermatitis that involves the buttocks and posterior thighs.
马桶座接触性皮炎在世界各地很常见，且正在美国重新出现。它可以很容易地被识别和治疗。然而，很少有医生考虑到这种诊断，这导致了治疗的延迟，并且常常使皮疹恶化。过去，接触木制马桶座以及相关的清漆、漆和涂料会导致臀部和大腿后侧出现过敏接触性皮炎。近年来，大多数公共设施已改为塑料座椅，导致马桶座皮炎的临床表现发生变化。我们报告了来自美国和印度的 5 例儿童马桶座皮炎病例，并回顾了该病的病史、表现和临床过程。我们的研究结果表明，马桶座皮炎比以前认为的更为常见，对于任何涉及臀部和大腿后侧的皮炎患儿，都应考虑到这种疾病。
