Allergic contact dermatitis is a common problem that can affect persons of all ages and in any state of health. A high index of suspicion and careful follow-through with patch testing and investigative work are needed to establish the diagnosis. Recognition of sources of exposure to the allergen and of important cross-reacting substances is the key to prevention of recurrences.
