Histopathogenesis of eczma

In contact eczema the dermal appendages afford a mode of entry for the allergen into the epidermis and dermis, causing changes in both these structures, destructive in the epidermis and exudative in the dermis. Oedema fluid and lymphocytes from the upper dermis then force their way into the weakened epidermis to form vesicles. The degree of the reaction varies considerably in intensity from case to case.
