[Photoallergic eczema caused by musk ambrette].
This study reports a photoallergic contact dermatitis to musk ambrette in two male patients. Musk ambrette is a widely used perfume ingredient, but it is also included in food and drugs. Both patients reacted in the long ultraviolet light (UV-A) to musk ambrette and to the after shave lotions containing musk ambrette. The histopathologic finding in the photopatch test site revealed acute spongiotic dermatitis.
