Highlights After the introduction of the EU regulatory interventions, nickel sensitization decreased significantly in the group of females aged ≤25 years. Women born between 1966 and 1975 presented the higheest prevalence of sensitization to nickel, then prevalence of sensitization gradually decreased with a minimum in more recent years. Nickel sensitization is higher in Italian patients compared to people living in other EU coutries. Additional interventions are needed to address nickel sensitization.
