A 28-year-old violinist had suffered from eczema on the neck, left jaw and upper left shoulder, where the violin touched her skin, for 1.5 years prior to presentation. She has studied violin at a conservatory and noticed worsening of the eczema and itching especially after practicing the violin for 9 hour a day in preparing for her examination. No involvement of the hands or other parts of the exposed skin was reported. Treatment with topical corticosteroids for several weeks had not procured recovery.
