Abstract:
Although contact dermatitis is cited among the side effects of topical application of nitroglycerin, in the majority of cases the reactions are caused by an irritant mechanism, and it is only rarely due to an allergic mechanism. We present two patients with allergic contact dermatitis and review the existing bibliography.
