    Pediatric positional sitting dermatitis: a new form of pediatric contact dermatitis
    (Wiley, 2016-05) Isaacs, Michael J.; Strausburg, Matthew B.; Mousdicas, Nico; Department of Dermatology, IU School of Medicine
    We report on four pediatric patients who presented with localized dermatitis in areas subject to repetitive friction due to their sitting positions. We propose that the cause of the eruption was irritant contact dermatitis due to frequently sitting in a crossed-leg sitting position, an entity for which we have coined the term pediatric positional sitting dermatitis (PPSD). The goal of this report is to raise clinicians' awareness of PPSD, which to our knowledge has not been previously described, and to discuss management of these patients.
