Allergic contact dermatitis to neem oil used to treat a flare of atopic dermatitis

Abstract

The Curasept ® mouthwash is marketed in Italy as a medical device. In this case the presence of MI in the mouthwash was correctly declared in the label by the manufacturer and this facilitated the diagnosis. However, the current regulations concerning medical devices do not require the complete declaration of all the ingredients in the label. 6 A more stringent regulation about the complete declaration would be highly desirable. At the same time a more stringent regulation about MI content in medical devices should be considered, with the aim of reducing the incidence of allergic contact dermatitis due to isothiazolinones in these products.
