title: Allergic contact dermatitis from transdermal clonidine in a patient with mycosis fungoides.
abstract: Although therapy with transdermal clonidine is considered an effective method of hypertension control, this mode of delivery has been associated with localized dermal reactions in numerous patients. We present a patient with coexistent mycosis fungoides and allergic contact dermatitis from transdermal clonidine. The association of these two dermatologic processes has not been previously reported.
