Color developers are widely used and contact dermatitis and lichen planus‐like eruptions from them art well‐known. As a result of automation, there have been few recent reports of contact dermatitis from color developers. We describe here 4 cases of dermatoses from Kodak CD4 color developer and study that cross sensitivity to other color developers and PPD. Attempts were made to determine the purity of the patch test allergens to ensure that cross sensitivity was not the result of contamination and decomposition of the allergens.
