SUMMARY A case of vulval dermatitis and perioral dermatitis due to contact allergy to multiple class D corticosteroids, mometasone furoate and methylprednisolone aceponate is presented. Patch testing with commercially available corticosteroid creams is a simple and useful diagnostic test. Beware of delayed positive reaction, seen on day 8 of the repeat open application test on this patient.
