Human skin is exposed to a large variety of cosmetic allergens. Most allergic contact dermatitis occurs after exposure to fragrance, preservatives, and hair dyes. Such reactions can often be occult. As a result, a high index of suspicion is needed in assessing the patient with facial or cosmetic dermatitis. This contribution looks at why such a large number of chemicals are in everyday usage, at how dermatologists monitor trends in allergy to cosmetics, and at a number of new and emerging allergens to consider in the assessment of suspected cosmetic allergy.
人体皮肤会接触到各种各样的化妆品过敏原。大多数过敏性接触性皮炎是在接触香料、防腐剂和染发剂后发生的。此类反应通常很隐匿。因此，在评估面部或化妆品性皮炎患者时，需要高度怀疑。本文探讨了为什么有如此大量的化学物质在日常使用，皮肤科医生如何监测化妆品过敏趋势，以及在评估疑似化妆品过敏时需要考虑一些新的和新兴的过敏原。
