| Abstract |
Three cases were reported of allergic contact dermatitis behind the ears from wearing the same brand of industrial safety spectacles. Positive patch tests were obtained with phenyl salicylate, which is used as an ultraviolet inhibitor in some cellulose acetate butyrate and cellulose acetate propionate formulae. It has previously been reported as a contact sensitiser from its use as a sun screen in a lip salve. Positive patch test reactions were also obtained variously in these patients with balsam of Peru, resorcinol monobenzoate, and epoxy resin. |
