title: Peristomal allergic contact dermatitis due to Gantrez in Stomahesive paste.
abstract: We report a case of severe peristomal dermatitis that was refractory to conventional treatments. Patch testing revealed positive allergies to myroxylon perulase (balsam of Peru), propylene glycol, Stomahesive paste, and Gantrez. This is the second reported case of patch-test-positive peristomal allergy to Gantrez.
