    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Contact Allergy
    • Dermatitis

    Background:

    • Common warts are frequently treated with topical agents.
    • Dithranol is a known treatment for warts and psoriasis.
    • Collodion formulations offer a convenient method for topical drug delivery.

    Observation:

    • A patient developed an eczematous reaction on treated areas and extremities during dithranol collodion therapy for common warts.
    • Patch testing confirmed a specific contact allergy to dithranol.

    Findings:

    • The dithranol collodion effectively cleared common warts in two applications within three weeks.
    • The study identified a patient with a confirmed contact allergy to dithranol.

    Implications:

    • Contact allergy to dithranol may be underdiagnosed.
    • Healthcare providers should consider dithranol allergy in patients presenting with eczematous reactions during treatment.
    • Further investigation into the prevalence of dithranol contact allergy is warranted.
