A man experienced allergic reactions to sunscreens, specifically octyl-dimethyl-para-aminobenzoic acid and 2-ethylhexyl-p-metossicinnamate. Patch testing confirmed sensitivity to Parsol MCX, highlighting potential sunscreen allergies.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Photodermatology
  • Contact Dermatitis

Background:

  • Chemical sunscreens like para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) derivatives and cinnamates protect against UVB radiation.
  • These compounds can occasionally cause contact and photocontact sensitization.

Observation:

  • A 31-year-old male presented with a 3-year history of recurrent summer dermatitis on the face, neck, legs, and knees, exacerbated by sun exposure.
  • Diagnostic workup included patch testing and photopatch testing to identify causative agents.

Findings:

  • Patch testing revealed positive reactions to Balsam of Peru, fragrance mix, Escalol 507, and Parsol MCX.
  • Photopatch testing specifically identified Parsol MCX as the cause of photosensitization.

Implications:
