The results were as follows;
The pattern of the tissue reactions could be classified into following categories.
1) Eczematous reactions
2) Psoriasiform reactions
3) Findings of melanosis Riehl
4) Non-fixed type (this type is unable to be observed any particular features of reaction)
5) Mixed type (plural kinds of reactions patterns are able to be observed simultaneously) Non-fixed type corresponds to the fact that these eruptions localized on the face often show atypical findings. Mixed type indicate the transitional or superimposed form of these reactions.
