Contact Dermatitis
July 2022
Article Synopsis
- An aqueous antiseptic containing chlorhexidine digluconate, benzalkonium chloride, and benzyl alcohol (CBB) is commonly used in France, but its potential to cause allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) has been inadequately studied previously.
- A retrospective study analyzed 102 patients with confirmed ACD to CBB, revealing extensive skin lesions in 63% of cases and a significant delay in diagnosis for 55% of patients.
- Positive patch tests for CBB were found in 93.8% of patients, with benzyl alcohol being the main allergen in adults and chlorhexidine digluconate in children, indicating distinct sensitization profiles between age groups.*
We present a case of atopic nipple eczema leading to reactive hyperprolactinemia, by mechanical nipple stimulation.

This benign tumour was a source of concern for the patient and required several diagnostic radiographic examinations.

Methods: Data for patients with DILAD were collected retrospectively from the French Pharmacovigilance network (from 1985 to 2017) and from physicians involved in the Bullous Diseases French Study Group and the French Investigators for Skin Adverse Reactions to Drugs.
