Phototoxic textile dermatitis ("bikini dermatitis")

N Hjorth, H Möller

    Archives of Dermatology
    |October 1, 1976
    PubMed
    Summary

    Two patients developed phototoxic textile dermatitis from bikini dyes. Disperse Blue 35, a known occupational allergen, was identified as a cause in consumers, triggering phototoxic reactions.

    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Toxicology
    • Textile Science

    Background:

    • Phototoxic textile dermatitis is a rare condition.
    • Anthraquinone dyes are common in textiles but rarely implicated in consumer dermatitis.

    Observation:

    • Two patients presented with phototoxic textile dermatitis and hyperpigmentation after wearing bikini bathing suits.
    • Dye extraction from the bathing suits revealed 15 distinct fractions via thin-layer chromatography.

    Findings:

    • Two dye fractions were identified as Disperse Blue 35, an anthraquinone dye.
    • Disperse Blue 35, previously associated with occupational dermatitis, was confirmed to cause phototoxic reactions in consumers.
    • One fraction also induced phototoxic reactions in healthy individuals.

    Implications:

    • This study highlights Disperse Blue 35 as a potential consumer allergen in textiles.
    • It underscores the importance of identifying dye components in textile-related dermatological reactions.
    • Further investigation into consumer exposure to Disperse Blue 35 in apparel is warranted.
