Contact dermatitis to quinoline, corticosteroids and antibiotics after short time treatment of delayed wound healing following malignant melanoma excision in a young woman.

摘要

Background: We describe a 20-year old woman with retarded healing after a melanoma excision. After short time application of several creams containing antiseptic, antibiotic and anti-inflammatory ingredients she developed a severe contact dermatitis. Patch testing revealed sensitizations against corticosteroids, an antibiotic and quinoline. Conclusion: In our case multiple relevant contact sensitizations appeared within a short period of two months after excision of a malignant tumour.
