- Abstract
The article focuses on contact urticaria from acrylic acid in Fixomull® tape. Acrylic acid can be found in numerous adhesive tapes. In Fixomull® tape, the adhesive is composed of a polyacrelate derived from polymerization of acrylic acid. Contact urticaria from other acrylic polymers, for example, methyl methacrylate has been reported. According to a case, a 24 year old Lebanese woman had chronic eczema of the face. During her tests, multiple urticarial lesions were seen strictly under the Fixomull® tape.
