Three women with contact dermatitis due to spandex in their brassieres are reported. Two of these patients had a previous history of rubber sensitivity. Patch tests were performed with a number of rubber accelerators antioxydants wonderlastic (Playtex) lycra and rubber. All three patients showed positive patch tests with wonderlastic zinc diethyl dithiocarbamate and N-phenyl-N’-isopropyl-para-phenylenediamine. Patch tests with 2-mercaptobenzothiazole were only positive in the two patients sensitive to rubber. (To be published in Acta derm.-vener.).
