Prevalence of Common Contact Allergens in Topical Diaper Preparations for Infants

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: In cases of persistent perineal dermatitis (PD), allergic contact dermatitis should be considered and common potential allergens avoided in topical diaper preparations. Our study reviewed the best-selling diaper preparations on a popular website to identify the number and types of allergens in each product, based on the 2018 Pediatric Baseline Patch Test Series and North American Contact Dermatitis Group-70. Of the products reviewed, 21/25 (84%) percent contained one or more potential allergens. Additionally, we provide a list of products that do not have ingredients contained on either potential allergen list.
