Allergic contact dermatitis is unlikely to cause vulval vestibulitis, a painful condition. Patch testing is not recommended for diagnosing this condition.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Gynecology

Background:

  • Vulval vestibulitis is a condition causing burning, stinging, and painful intercourse.
  • Its cause is unknown, but allergic contact dermatitis has been proposed.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the potential role of allergic contact dermatitis in vulval vestibulitis.

Main Methods:

  • 30 women with vulval vestibulitis underwent patch testing.
  • Standard and special allergen series, plus patient-identified triggers, were used.

Main Results:

  • Five positive reactions occurred: 4 to nickel, 1 to fragrance mix.
  • None of these reactions were deemed clinically relevant to vulval vestibulitis.

Conclusions:
