Dermatitis due to sulfites in home permanent preparations. Part II.
Irritant contact dermatitis to sulfite hair preparations most commonly occurs when users do not follow instructions. Allergic eczematous reactions are very rare; immediate urticarial reactions seem to occur principally in patients with asthma. Pretesting should be done in such patients in a physician's office where medication for the treatment of shock or asthma is available.
