A temporary henna tattoo causing hair and clothing dye allergy.

Contact dermatitis following the application of temporary paint-on henna tattoos indicates a potentially serious problem of active sensitization. We describe 2 cases involving sisters who travelled to Bali together and acquired a temporary black henna tattoo to the lower back region. Both sisters subsequently developed a contact dermatitis at the tattoo site, the dermatitis disseminating in one sister. There was persistent hyperpigmentation at the tattoo site in both sisters several months after the application. Patch testing revealed a positive reaction to para-phenylenediamine (PPD) in both sisters. One sister also showed reactions to other hair dyes and to multiple organic dyes. Allergic contact dermatitis to PPD contained in temporary henna tattoos is an increasing problem worldwide, with cross-reaction to related compounds and permanent skin changes, a frequent consequence of sensitization to this significant allergen.

Allergic contact dermatitis caused by the clothing dye, disperse blue 106, an important contact allergen that may be frequently missed.

A 43-year-old woman presented with a history of dermatitis in a somewhat linear pattern under her breasts, across her back and around her waist. This dermatitis occurred after wearing a new blue dress with a blue lining. Patch testing showed an allergy to disperse blue 106 dye and also to her dress lining. However, she was not positive to p-phenylene-diamine, a dye in the standard patch test series. We recommend that any patient even slightly suspected of having an allergy to a textile dye should be tested with disperse blue, in addition to the standard series.

Deep scrotal temperature and the effect on it of clothing, air temperature, activity, posture and paraplegia.

Two new techniques for measuring deep scrotal temperature are described. Paraplegic men in wheelchairs have deep scrotal temperatures averaging about 0.9 degrees C higher than normal sitting men, and those whose scrotal temperatures are very high usually lack motile spermatozoa. In the author, deep scrotal temperatures at constant air temperature are 0.5 degrees C lower wearing boxer shorts than wearing Y-fronts, and 1.2 degrees C lower wearing scrotal slit underpants than wearing boxer shorts; they are 1.6 degrees C lower sitting with thighs apart than sitting with thighs together, and 0.5 degrees C lower running than sitting with thighs apart. From such observations, means of lowering paraplegic deep scrotal temperatures can be designed.

Tinuvin P in a spandex tape as a cause of clothing dermatitis.

We report a 54-year-old female with allergic contact dermatitis from 2-(2-hydroxy-5-methylphenyl)benzotriazole (Tinuvin P) in a spandex tape sewn into underwear. Tinuvin P is used as an ultraviolet light absorber for stabilizing plastics and the other organic materials against discoloration and deterioration. It is effective in protecting synthetic and natural fibers, polyesters, chlorinated polyesters, polystyrene, polyvinyls, cellulose acetate, ethyl cellulose, acrylates, dyes, waxes, detergents, cosmetic formulations, etc. Our patient developed itchy erythema on her shoulders, chest and upper back after wearing underwear for 1 night. She showed positive reactions to spandex tape sewn into the underwear. She also reacted to 2-(2-hydroxy-5-methylphenyl)benzotriazole (Tinuvin P), which was contained in the spandex. No cross-reaction to other benzotriazoles was seen.
