Contact dermatitis from Solvent Yellow 146 in a permanent marker

Allergic contact dermatitis due to a surgical marker

“…Cross-sensitization between azo dyes and para-amino compounds, including PPD, is frequent (4). Two cases of allergic contact dermatitis caused by an azo dye contained in skin markers (not legally registered as such) were previously reported, one of which was attributable to Solvent Yellow 3 (1), and the other to Solvent Orange 3; the latter was also secondary to sensitization to PPD contained in a temporary henna tattoo (2), as in our case.…”

Allergenic and microbiological hazards caused by skin markings during medical procedures?

“…Current data analysis of the IVDK group shows that, despite their frequent use, contact allergies to skin markers are rare. This is consistent with the published literature, which only includes isolated cases of contact allergies to medical skin markers [ 1,2,[9][10][11][12] and nonmedical text markers (offi ce supply) [3][4][5][6][7][8][13][14][15][16][17] .…”

“…In 149 of these 453 patients (32.9 %), the patients' own materials were tested; (marker) pens were tested in three patients (total of eight patch tests; 0.0047 % of the entire collective) and were negative in each case. A PubMed literature search from 1953 to 2/2016 yielded 21 cases of allergic contact dermatitis caused by skin markers [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] , with different substances in the various products identifi ed as triggers (Table 1 ). These publications were case reports and not Abbr.…”

Dermatologic Surgical Implications of Allergic Contact Dermatitis

“…Cross-reactions between ethanol and other primary alcohols are well known, whereas cross-reactions between primary, secondary, or tertiary alcohols are rare. 39,40 Martin-Garcia and colleagues presented a 28-year-old woman with ACD secondary to use of a blue permanent marker (Edding 3000, Edding International GmbH, Ahrensburg, Germany) to outline the liposuction area. 33 Primary alcohols, such as ethanol and methanol, have been reported to cause occupational ACD.…”
