The Scandinavian photopatch test procedure has been applied to 745 patients with suspected photodermatoses during the years 1980‐1981. Our experience has been encouraging with the recording of several relevant reactions. A total of 132 positive photocontact reactions and 120 ordinary contact reactions Were seen. Photocontact reactions to musk ambrette (19 cases) and PABA (19 cases) were surprisingly frequent. The next most common photocontact reactions were to promethazine (24). chlorpromazine (22 cases and fentichlor (12). Ordinary contact reactions were observed to balsam of Peru (30). PABA (23), lichen mix (21), wood mix (14) and to perfume mix (10).
