ABSTRACT:
Contact dermatitis is an inflammatory skin reaction resulting from skin contact with exogenous substances that act as allergens and/or irritants. Epicutaneous testing is the gold standard for diagnosing allergic contact dermatitis and differentiating it from irritant contact dermatitis. We present a clinical case of allergic contact dermatitis after preoperative povidone-iodine disinfection.
Keywords: allergic contact dermatitis, povidone-iodine, preoperative disinfection,
