Abstract
Background Methyldibromoglutaronitrile (MDBGN) is a preservative, which was approved for use in cosmetics in the mid‐1980s. The incidence of allergy to MDBGN rose during the 1990s, but is now decreasing due to regulatory intervention. Experimental studies with other allergens have shown a significant relationship between the patch test and the repeated open application test (ROAT) reactivity.
