Contact allergy to 3‐(4‘ methylbenzylidene) camphor and contact and photocontact allergy to 4‐isopropyl dibenzoylmethane

Abstract

We report a clinical case of a 15-year-old boy who presented a photodistributed eruption after having used a sunscreen cream for 8 days. Photobiological testing showed a contact allergy to 3-(4' methylbenzylidene) camphor (Eusolex 6300) included in his sunscreen cream associated with a contact and photocontact allergy to 4-isopropyl-dibenzoylmethane (Eusolex 8020) not included.
