Severe allergic hair dye reaction

Coloring of hair can cause severe allergic contact dermatitis. We presented a 20-year-old men who came to emergency room with head and face oedema. His head and neck skin was diffusely erythematous, oozing with blisters and crusts. Two months after skin changes resolved, we perform patch test to European standard and the hairdressers series and to the hair-dye that he was using to dye his hair. He had positive reaction to PPD, anestesin-benzocaine, thiuram mix and coal tar. Hair-dye allergy is one of the commonest causes of cosmetic dermatitis in men and women.Hair color products require patch test before application to determine ih the individual is allergic to the product.
