Abstract:
Even though hydrocolloid dressings have been widely used for the past 15 years in the treatment of various types of wounds; allergic contact dermatitis to these dressings have been rarely reported. Duoderm(R) is representative agent of hydrocolloid dressing, and Duoderm Extrathin(R) is a new formulation of Duoderm(R) that contains pentaerythritol ester as a tacking agent, a substance used in several other adhesives. In Korean dermatologic literature, only 1 case of the allergic contact dermatitis due to Duoderm CGF(R) has been reported. However allergic contact dermatitis due to Duoderm Extrathin(R) has not been reported. We report a case of allergic contact dermatitis in a 22-year-old female during wound management using Duoderm Extrathin(R).
