title: Human cutaneous vulvar reactivity to irritants.
abstract: To better understand the cutaneous reactivity of vulvar skin, two chemical irritants were applied topically to 21 subjects. The forearm of each subject served as a comparative control. Test sites remained open and were read at 24 hours. A significantly increased response to the irritants was noted on the vulvar skin.
