Musk ambrette, a contact and photocontact allergen, is a synthetic fragrance present in aftershave lotions and many toiletries. Thirty-four patients with contact and photocontact allergy to musk ambrette were studied. All had a facial eczema. Four distinctive clinical pictures were seen. These were plaques of eczema, jawline (mandibular) dermatitis, acute contact dermatitis and chronic actinic dermatitis. Twenty-six patients were light sensitive by history and 10 were diagnosed by clinical criteria as having chronic actinic dermatitis. Patch and photopatch testing to musk ambrette showed that seven patients had pure photocontact dermatitis to musk ambrette. Eight patients had contact dermatitis to musk ambrette but this was exacerbated by irradiation. Cross reaction with moskene occurred. Scrupulous avoidance of musk ambrette has resulted in clinical resolution in most patients.
葵子麝香是一种接触性和光接触性变应原，是一种存在于须后水和许多化妆品中的合成香料。对34例对葵子麝香有接触性和光接触性过敏的患者进行了研究。所有患者均有面部湿疹。观察到四种不同的临床症状。分别为湿疹斑块、下颌线（下颌）皮炎、急性接触性皮炎和慢性光化性皮炎。26例患者有光敏史，10例根据临床标准诊断为慢性光化性皮炎。对葵子麝香进行斑贴试验和光斑贴试验显示，7例患者对葵子麝香有单纯性光接触性皮炎。8例患者对葵子麝香有接触性皮炎，但照射会使其加重。与环十五酮发生了交叉反应。大多数患者通过严格避免接触葵子麝香后临床症状得到缓解。
