Contact dermatitis to estradiol benzoate

B Ljunggren

    Contact Dermatitis
    |May 1, 1981
    PubMed
    Summary

    Estradiol benzoate in topical preparations can cause facial dermatitis. Patch testing confirmed estradiol benzoate as the likely cause in three patients, with cross-reactivity to other substances.

    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Contact Dermatitis
    • Allergen Identification

    Background:

    • Facial dermatitis can be triggered by various topical agents.
    • Identifying the specific sensitizer is crucial for effective patient management.

    Observation:

    • Three patients presented with facial dermatitis after using products containing estradiol benzoate.
    • Clinical presentation suggested an allergic reaction to a component in the topical preparation.

    Findings:

    • Patch testing revealed positive reactions to estradiol benzoate (0.1% in MEK) in all three patients.
    • Reactions to related estrogens, including estradiol, were negative.
    • Cross-reactivity was observed with resorcinol monobenzoate (positive in all) and balsam of Peru (positive in two).

    Implications:

    • Estradiol benzoate is identified as a potential primary sensitizer for allergic contact dermatitis.
    • Clinicians should consider estradiol benzoate in the differential diagnosis of facial dermatitis.
    • Further investigation into the allergenic potential of benzoate esters in topical formulations is warranted.
