再び再発性女子顔面皮膚炎について

DERMATITIS RECIDIVA FACIEI FEMINAE

まえがき

　本症については臨床皮泌に執筆してわたしの考えを述べた。それには本症の由来その他を記してある故繰返さないことにする。この名称はあいまいであるゆえやめたらよいという人もあるが，やめたい人はやめて構わないし，使用したい人はそれでもよいと述べておいた。皮膚病の原因は明確なものもあるし，判然としないものも多く，また諸種の原因に基くものもある。この名称はかなりよく使われておるように思われ，ただ大原氏以後化粧品に関係するものが多いゆえ化粧品皮膚炎とした方がよいとの説が多いが，化粧品に関係しないものもそれに含めるべきか否や，その点が明瞭でない。ここには化粧品に確かな関係がないと思われる例を示してみる。

The name of this disease was given by the author, and the opinion that it is contact derma-titis due to cosmetics is prevalent now.

The author performed patch tests with cosmetics on 6 patients' cheeks of this disease, with negative results in all of them. In 2 of them, patch test combined with infrared irradiation was negative results.

Three of 18 cases were aggravated by application of cosmetics, but 10 of them were not in-fluenced by cosmetics.

Four of them had not used cosmetics. Two of them had slight erythema by soap.

There were many factors which had adverse effect on the skin ; contact with wool, shaving, new house, travel, fatigue, curried food, ingestion of some kind of fish, repeated injection of penicillin, aggravation in spring and autumn and in premenstrual period, taking bath, sunlight or raining etc. The author could not agree with the opinion that this disease was caused only by cosmetics.
