Allergic Contact Dermatits due to Cambison Ophthalmic Ointment
|
|
|
|
|
Abstract
|
|
|
Cambison ophthalmic ointment is an easily available topical medicament in Korea. However, the allergic contact dermatitis to Cambison ophthalmic ointment has not been reported in Korean dermatology literature. We report a case of allergic contact
dermatitis in a 28-year-old female who suffered from itchy, erythematous patches on both periorbital areas. She wore contact lenses and for the last year, she had applied Cambison ophthalmic ointment to both periorbital areas. The skin lesions
were
aggravated gradually, A patch test showed positive reactions to Cambison ophthalmic ointment, neomycin. Mercury and thimerosal. We suspect neomycin contained in Cambison ophthalmic ointment to be the etiologic agent. When contact dermatitis
occurs
on
periorbital areas, topical ophthalmic ointment or lens cleaner may be considered as a causative agent. (Kor J Dermatol 1997;35(2) : 358∼361)
