The quaternary ammonium compound didecyldimethylammonium chloride (DDAC; CAS no. 7173-51-5) is used in various water-based products for its bactericidal, virucidal and fungicidal properties. Cases of both allergic contact dermatitis (1–3) and immediate-type reactions (4, 5) caused by DDAC when present as an ingredient in detergents/disinfectants have previously been reported. In this report, we present a case of foot dermatitis associated with contact allergy to DDAC.
