A case of periocular contact dermatitis caused by cypress allergy.
Airborne contact dermatitis is a dermatological disease manifesting predominantly on the face, neck and arms, which is caused by volatile substances which settle on exposed skin. Although the diagnosis is not difficult, the finding of causative allergens and the exclusion of differential diagnoses are still lacking by the treating dermatologists.
