    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology and Phytochemistry

    Background:

    • Madecassol, derived from Centella asiatica, contains madecassic acid, asiatic acid, and asiaticoside.
    • It is traditionally utilized for wound healing and preventing scar formation.

    Observation:

    • This study investigated cases of contact dermatitis potentially linked to Madecassol use.
    • A control study was conducted using the individual ingredients of Madecassol.

    Findings:

    • Contact dermatitis was observed in relation to Madecassol.
    • Further analysis with individual components confirmed the allergenic potential.

    Implications:

    • Clinicians should be aware of Madecassol's potential to cause allergic contact dermatitis.
    • This highlights the importance of patch testing for patients using Centella asiatica-based products.
