Background: The AAD Burden of Skin Disease Study estimates 72.4 million Americans have contact dermatitis. With the growing number of dermatologic surgeons, there is greater risk for exposure and sensitization to surgically related antigens. The specific exposures to potential contact allergens in the surgical setting, however, are not well established. Objectives: Assess practices and knowledge base of contact dermatitis among dermatologic surgeons. Methods: Anonymous questionnaires were sent to Florida Society of Dermatologic Surgery members (221). [IRB 2005-0243] Results: 45 surveys were returned (20.4% response rate). Conclusions: 75% of respondents patch tested. Respondents primarily used the T.RU.E. test to screen for adhesives (73.3%) and nickel (63.3%) allergy. 26.7% reported T.R.U.E. test screening for suture allergy. One-fifth of patch testers did not suspect ACD to the top T.R.U.E. test allergens. This pilot data suggests that while the T.R.U.E. test is being utilized by dermatologic surgeons, its efficacy can be optimized.
