We describe 4 adults with an allergic contact dermatitis for moist baby toilet tissues, being used either for their personal hygiene or for their babies (children). The allergen proved to be the preservative mixture of methylchloroisothiazolinone and methylisothiazolinone (MCI/MI). Allergic contact dermatitis from moist toilet paper has been infrequently reported but is probably not rare. The cases we describe here have been observed over a short period of 6 months. The question arises if the use of MCI/MI as a preservative, still often used in leave-on products, should not be abandoned from cosmetics.
我们描述了4名成年人因使用湿婴儿卫生纸而发生过敏性接触性皮炎,这些卫生纸用于他们自身卫生或他们的婴儿(儿童)。过敏原被证明是甲基氯异噻唑啉酮和甲基异噻唑啉酮(MCI/MI)的混合防腐剂。来自湿卫生纸的过敏性接触性皮炎虽鲜有报道,但可能并不罕见。我们在此描述的病例是在短短6个月内观察到的。问题是,MCI/MI作为一种仍常用于免洗产品的防腐剂,是否应从化妆品中摒弃。
