- Abstract
The article cites five case reports related to contact allergy to moist toilet paper. In the first case a 45 year old man with perianal dermatitis and vesicular hand dermatitis was patch tested with the European standard series, revealing allergy to kathon CG. He was using a moist toilet paper which was suspected to have contained kathon and the moment he stopped using it he was cured. In the second case a 41 year old woman developed acute allergic contact dermatitis around the anus, which spread to the trunk, legs and face after twice using moist toilet paper.
