Book Description,
That skin contact with certain plants and chemicals can produce itching eruptions has been known, since ancient times, in all cultures. This phenomenon is now universally termed Contact Dermatitis.
The term Contact Dermatitis is used both to describe the phenomenon of an adverse cutaneous contact eruption, as well as for the study of the phenomenon. One seldom use the term "Contact Dermatology" to describe the field of study, always "Contact Dermatitis"1. Making Contact Dermatitis a science is credited by most to be the work of Joseph Jadassohn, a Danish dermatologist, who in 1895 performed the first patch test. Although the science is now over 100 years old, it is only in the last 35 years that the study Contact Dermatitis has really taken off.
