[Photoallergic contact eczema caused by 4-isopropyldibenzoylmethane].

Abstract

Dibenzoylmethanes are widely used in UVA absorbing sunscreens but also in cosmetics protecting against skin aging. We report on a 25 years old female with photoallergic contact dermatitis caused by 4-Isopropyl-dibenzoylmethane (Eusolex 8020, Merck), who had taken Contralum Ultra Creme because of a polymorphic light eruption.
