Inclusion Criteria

  • Subjects ≥18 years old.
  • Subjects with a history of diagnosis of sensitization to Nickel sulphate.
  • Delayed type hypersensitivity demonstrated by positive reaction with epicutaneous or patch test.
  • Skin Phototype II-III.
  • Women with fertile age and a negative result in the pregnancy test before inclusion. Women must use an adequate contraceptive method during the study.
  • Written informed consent prior to inclusion.
  • Able and willing to comply with protocol procedures and to follow the investigator's instructions.
  • Criteria for treatment initiation: At day 7, before starting treatment, subjects must meet the inclusion criteria and all the following criteria: ≥ 3 VAS and eczema intensity of (+ +) or (+++) according to ICDRG scale.

Exclusion Criteria

  • Active cutaneous disease causing itch (active eczema, urticaria or insect bites)
  • Active systemic disease that may induce itch (hepatic or renal disease).
  • Active psychiatric disease that could interfere with symptom assessment.
  • Treatment with drugs inducing itch.
  • Treatment with oral or topical preparations that could interfere with the itching sensation induced by patch test.
  • Treatment with systemic or topical corticosteroids, antihistaminics or calcineurin inhibitors.
  • Active skin disease in the back that may interfere with the assessment of response to topical application of allergen
  • Pregnancy or lactation
  • Subjects with contraindications specified in Summary of Product Characteristics (SPC).

Arms & Interventions

Adventan® (metilprednisolona aceponato 0,1%)

Experimental

Intervention: Adventan® (methylprednisolone aceponate 0,1%) (Drug)

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Mean time to Itch Relief (TR) from the start of treatment, with methylprednisolone aceponate.

Time Frame: 5 days

Time to Itch Relief is defined as the time needed to reach a 30% decrease of the maximum VAS (Visual Analogue Scale used for self-assessment of itch by the volunteers) recorded after the start of treatment.

Secondary Outcomes

  • Erythema intensity by colorimetry.(5 days)
  • Eczema intensity by planimetric morphology (ICDRG scale)(5 days)
  • VAS versus time curve (time to reach VAS max from the start of treatment, AUC, dVAS/dT)(5 days)
