A patient with contact dermatitis due to betamethasone valerate and povidone iodine is reported. The Japanese literature concerning contact dermatitis caused by corticosteroids is reviewed. For diagnosis, a patch test (twice if possible) is recommended. Reading should be done at 72h and on day 4 or 5. Erythematous (?+) reaction should be regarded positive when corticosteroids are patched.
