Trending and Emerging
- Impact of COVID-19 on Skin Health:
There is a growing body of research examining the effects of increased hand hygiene and the use of personal protective equipment during the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in a rise in cases of hand eczema and other dermatitis. - Novel Allergen Identification:
Emerging studies are increasingly focused on identifying and characterizing new allergens, particularly in everyday products like cosmetics and adhesives, indicating a shift towards understanding contemporary sensitization trends. - Machine Learning in Diagnosis:
The integration of machine learning and artificial intelligence into the diagnosis and management of contact dermatitis is a growing trend, showcasing advancements in technology to enhance clinical practices. - Environmental and Occupational Exposure Studies:

Declining or Waning
- Traditional Allergen Sources:
Research on traditional allergens, such as nickel and certain preservatives, is becoming less frequent as newer allergens gain attention and as awareness of these older allergens becomes more established. - General Reviews of Allergy Mechanisms:
Papers providing broad overviews of allergic mechanisms without specific contextual applications are less common, as the journal shifts focus towards more detailed, clinical, and epidemiological studies. - Cosmetic Ingredients:
The focus on cosmetic allergens that were once prevalent is waning, possibly due to stricter regulations and a shift towards identifying less common allergens in newer cosmetic formulations. - Localized Studies Without Broader Implications:
There is a noticeable reduction in localized studies that do not attempt to draw broader implications or conclusions, as the journal increasingly emphasizes research with widespread clinical relevance.
