Abstract EN
We report the case of a 41-year-old female showing severe hair loss approximately 90% after the use of a hair dye.
These symptoms developed six days after the use of a hair dye containing PPD.
A patch test showed a (++) reaction at 48 h to 1% PPD in petrolatum, whereas all metals and white petrolatum were negative.
She was therefore diagnosed with contact dermatitis due to PPD, resulting in hair loss.
The skin lesions gradually improved after starting treatment with the systemic corticosteroids.
The possibility that allergic contact dermatitis from hair dyes may be responsible for telogen effluvium should always be considered in a patient with increased hair loss.
