    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Pharmacology

    Background:

    • Topical nitroglycerin is a widely used long-acting vasodilator.
    • Its efficacy in various conditions is well-established.

    Observation:

    • Two cases of severe contact dermatitis linked to nitroglycerin compounds were observed.
    • Patch testing confirmed allergy to nitroglycerin in both patients.

    Findings:

    • The allergic contact dermatitis necessitated stopping nitroglycerin therapy.
    • Application of a potent corticosteroid cream effectively prevented or reduced dermatitis.
    • This management strategy allowed patients to continue nitroglycerin treatment.

    Implications:

    • Allergic contact dermatitis to topical nitroglycerin may be underdiagnosed.

  • Corticosteroid therapy can be a viable option for managing this adverse reaction.
  • Further investigation into the prevalence of nitroglycerin allergy is warranted.
