Plymouth Pharmaceuticals(R), Inc. announced today that it has introduced Psorizide(R) Forte, prescription tablets for the treatment of contact dermatitis due to nickel (costume jewelry allergy).
Nickel jewelry allergy, commonly known in the medical community as Allergic Contact Dermatitis (ACD), affects 15-20 percent of women. Nickel exposure is the most common cause of ACD. Its primary onset is during adolescent years and is marked by itchy red patches where costume jewelry touches the skin. Most people who have ACD are forced to discontinue wearing any jewelry that is not 18 Karat gold, silver, or surgical stainless steel. Other than avoidance of costume jewelry, the common treatment for nickel jewelry allergy is corticosteroids, which have side effects and only treat the symptoms.
