BACKGROUND The pathogenesis of irritant contact dermatitis and its modulation according to skin color is not well understood. Reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) enables high-resolution, real-time, in-vivo imaging of human skin. OBJECTIVE The goal of our study was to use RCM to determine whether susceptibility to irritant contact dermatitis differs between black and white skin. METHODS Pa...

Host-microbe interactions may play a fundamental role in the pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis, a chronic relapsing inflammatory skin disorder characterized by universal colonization with Staphylococcus species. To examine the relationship between epidermal barrier function and the cutaneous microbiota in atopic dermatitis, this study used a spontaneous model of canine atopic dermatitis. In a c...

With the increasing use of skin cleansing products, the awareness of productsinduced skin irritation, itching, dry skin and other potential effects has also increased. In this paper we studied the influence of some skin cleansers on skin properties that may be influenced by their use: skin surface pH, stratum corneum water content and transepidermal water loss (TEWL). Six commercially available...
