RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Allergic contact dermatitis is a challenging diagnostic problem in children. Although epicutaneous patch testing is the diagnostic standard for confirmation of contact sensitization, it is less used in children by dermatologists treating children, pediatric dermatologists, and pediatricians, when compared with adult practitioners. OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to create and evaluate standardization of a pediatric patch test series for children older than 6 years. METHODS: We surveyed dermatologists and allergists conducting epicutaneous patch testing in children attending the 2017 American Contact Dermatitis Society meeting held in Washington, DC. This was followed by discussion of collected data and consensus review by a pediatric contact dermatitis working group at the conference. CONCLUSIONS: A baseline pediatric patch test panel was established through working group consensus.

Plica neuropathica is an acquired, irreversible tangling and matting of scalp hair presenting as discrete masses. Many cases are reported in the literature, but it has never been reported in an infant. Herein we report the first case of plica neuropathica in an 11-month-old.
