INTRODUCTION : Nummular
dermatitis is one of the many forms
of dermatitis. It is characterized by
round or oval-shaped itchy lesions.
The name comes from the Latin
word “nummus,” which means
“coin.”
CAUSES
Many contact sensitizers or
irritants are known to cause contact
der matitis super imposed on
nummular dermatitis. Studies have
implicated nickel, cobalt, chromate,
and fragrance as likely culprits.
Xerosis, or dehydration of skin is
also a likely cause. Infection with
Staphylococcus aureus bacteria or
Candida albicans may also play a
role.
DIAGNOSIS
Diagnosis of nummular
dermatitis is largely via clinical
observation. Biopsies are typically
not necessary, and cannot be used
to rule out other atopic dermatitis or
other eczemas. However, patch
testing may be employed to rule out
irritants (contact dermatitis) as a
cause. In children, nummular
dermatitis is commonly confused
with tinea corporis .
CASE REPORT:
Patient started with fever initially.
The urticarial rashes started on the
extremities and back initially, then
spread all over the body and face
with intense itching . patient was
given antihistamines, antibiotics
and steroids. There was just
temporary relief. The rashes
recurred every 2days with intense
itching and redness. Patient would
scratch until it bleeds. Itching was
aggravated by having chicken and
