    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Mycology
    • Allergology

    Background:

    • Ciclopiroxolamine is a widely used antifungal agent.
    • It is generally considered a weak sensitizer with few reported allergic reactions.
    • Fungal infections like tinea pedis and onychomycosis are common conditions requiring treatment.

    Observation:

    • A 43-year-old woman presented with symptoms of contact dermatitis.
    • The dermatitis was attributed to the use of ciclopiroxolamine milk.
    • The patient had concurrent tinea pedis and onychomycosis caused by Trichophyton rubrum.

    Findings:

    • This case report documents an instance of allergic contact dermatitis caused by ciclopiroxolamine milk.
    • The patient's fungal infections were treated with ciclopiroxolamine.
    • The reaction occurred despite the generally accepted low sensitization potential of ciclopiroxolamine.

    Implications:

    • Healthcare providers should be aware of the potential for ciclopiroxolamine-induced contact dermatitis.
    • Further investigation into the sensitization potential of ciclopiroxolamine may be warranted.
    • This case underscores the importance of considering topical medication as a cause of dermatitis in patients with fungal infections.
