We report a new case of allergic contact dermatitis due to Centella asiatica, a weak sensitizer. Patch tests with Centella asiatica at different vehicles and in different concentrations were carried out. Regarding our results, we suggest as a routine procedure to start with 1% pet, and when the test remains negative 10% pet and 2% eth 70 degrees could be used.
