Abstract:
The vitamin D3 analogue calcipotriol ointment(Daivonex(R)) has now been used successfully in the treatment of psoriasis for several years. It is usually well tolerated and safe. The adverse effects are mainly lesional and perilesional irritations, facial irritations, hypercalcemia, etc. The nature of calcipotriol-induced dermatitis is usually considered to be of irritant nature but allergic contact reactions have also been reported. We report a case of allergic contact dermatitis from calcipotriol (Daivonex(R)).
