- Abstract
A case of a domestic female cleaner with a history of acute severe dermatitis on the face, neck and forearms has been presented in the article. She related the rash to her job, and in particular to a polish that she used. A patch test has been conducted to a standard series with positive reactions to parabens mix, carba mix and thiuram mix. The main ingredient of that polish, nanoxynol-12, a nonionic surfactants, was also tested positive in the patch test. The patient appears to be the first in whom sensitization has occurred to nonoxynol-12 in a polish.
