A total of 507 (M 121, F 386) cases of facial dermatitis were investigated, of whom 308 (M 49, F 259) had eczema confined to the face. The prevalence of positive patch tests was 45% (229/507). Among all the patients, the 2 most frequent allergens were nickel (15.2%) and ammoniated mercury (6.1%), with the incidence of nickel sensitivity in men (20%) being greater than in women (13.7%). 56% of the nickel-positive cases were caused by metal spectacle frames. Taiwan's high number of spectacle-wearers, its subtropical climate and the characteristic oriental facial structure are possibly major contributing factors. Most ammoniated mercury (AM)-sensitive cases resulted from cosmetics. Skin-lightening creams are widely used in Taiwan, but their content is poorly controlled. According to consumer reports, 14.9% (48/322) had applied AM-containing cosmetics. Of all the cosmetics tested for mercury, 2.2% (60/2711) were positive.
共调查了507例面部皮炎患者（男性121例，女性386例），其中308例（男性49例，女性259例）为局限于面部的湿疹。斑贴试验阳性率为45%（229/507）。在所有患者中，最常见的两种变应原是镍（15.2%）和白降汞（6.1%），男性对镍过敏的发生率（20%）高于女性（13.7%）。56%的镍阳性病例由金属眼镜架引起。台湾眼镜佩戴者数量众多、亚热带气候以及东方人的面部结构特点可能是主要促成因素。大多数对白降汞（AM）敏感的病例由化妆品引起。美白面霜在台湾广泛使用，但其中成分控制不佳。根据消费者报告，14.9%（48/322）的人使用过含AM的化妆品。在所有检测汞的化妆品中，2.2%（60/2711）呈阳性。
