Contact dermatitis to clotrimazole.
A 60-year-old man with allergic contact dermatitis to clotrimazole (Lotrimin) is described. Results of patch tests confirmed the reaction to clotrimazole itself and not the vehicle. After negative results of patch tests to other imidazoles, the patient was treated with econazole without complications. A brief review of contact dermatitis to clotrimazole and other imidazoles is included.
