- Abstract
This article presents information on allylisopropylacetylurea. Allylisopropylacetylurea is a mild sedative and hypnotic. Purpura is its best-known adverse effect. A 26-year-old woman presented with round light-brown patches on the cheeks, chin and right shoulder. Using aIlylisopropylacetylurea 10% in dimethylsuiphoxide (DMSO), authors performed an open patch test on involved skin and a closed patch test on unaffected skin of the patient, but these were negative. DMSO is reported to be useful as a vehicle for topical provocation in fixed drug eruption due to some drugs.
