Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Children's and teens’ frequent use of inexpensive “costume” jewelry exposes them to a variety of contact allergens. Greater use heightens the risk of developing allergic contact dermatitis, especially in the setting of body piercings. Several clinical pearls, prevention strategies, and avoidance alternatives are provided in this article to guide clinicians and patients in the management of jewelry-related allergic contact dermatitis.
