Abstract
Dibucaine hydrochloride is an amide-type local anesthetic and it is well known to be a contact allergen. Although there are some reports of allergic contact dermatitis due to over-the-counter medications containing dibucaine in the foreign literature, there is only one report of it in the Korean literature. We report here on a case of allergic contact dermatitis due to an over-the-counter drug containing dibucaine in a 41-year-old-woman. The patch test with the preparation that she had used and the TRUER test revealed positive reactions to the dibucaine mix and MoscoolR. (Korean J Dermatol 2011;49(6):546∼549)
