Abstract
The cutaneous surface is exposed to a myriad of encounters with chemicals, allergens and microbes. Nevertheless, it withstands these environmental assaults without overt inflammation. We will discuss the role of T regulatory cells in a situation where this tissue homeostasis fails - cutaneous allergy, in particular contact hypersensitivity.
