Belt Buckles-Increasing Awareness of Nickel Exposure in Children: A Case Report

Alina Goldenberg et al. Pediatrics. 2015 Sep.

Abstract

Children, especially those with atopic dermatitis, are at risk for nickel sensitization and subsequent dermatitis from metal-containing objects, namely belt buckles. We describe allergic contact dermatitis in 12 children with peri-umbilical nickel dermatitis (with and without generalized involvement) caused by dimethylglyoxime-positive belt buckles. The patients' symptoms resolved with avoidance of the nickel-containing products.
