Abstract
- 22 cases of allergic contact dermatitis from topical corticosteroids were observed in Strasbourg and previously published 7 further cases are reported here and the vehicle and concentration of corticosteroids for patch tests are discussed. A 0.1% concentration in petrolatum seemed adequate for testing the 4 molecules (triamcinolone acetonide, dexamethasone, desonide and amcinonide) responsible for the 7 new, cases. In 1 case, several cross-reactions were seen. A corticosteroids screening series permits patch testing of the suspected molecule(s) in a selective way. Without this series, long delays arc required to make [he correct diagnosis by patch testing. We have reviewed more than 60 paper on corticosteroids allergy published up to now.
