Systemic contact dermatitis to doxepin.
Although allergic contact dermatitis to topical preparations of doxepin has been published, systemic contact dermatitis from oral doxepin is more of a theoretical consideration and is rarely reported. We report a case of a patient with contact allergy to doxepin hydrochloride 5% cream who developed a systemic contact dermatitis to oral doxepin.
