    TLDR Men's personal care products often cause allergic skin reactions.
    The review discusses the rising incidence of allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) in men, linked to personal care products as societal views on appearance and masculinity evolve. It identifies aftershave, cologne, deodorant, hair dye, and hair loss treatments as frequent ACD triggers, with over 90 allergens noted. The most common allergens include para-phenylenediamine, minoxidil, musk ambrette, methylisothiazolinone, and cocamidopropyl betaine. The review's goal is to aid clinicians in recognizing and diagnosing ACD in men, thereby enhancing treatment and informing future research.
